Did we have 2 A380's on the ground at the same time today? Anyone manage to get a picture?

There is photo and a video on the BHX Facebook page.

Fantastic pictures Simon.
Were these pictures taken from the car park? It's an excellent spotting location.

 

[elmdon74]

Yes,the viewing area in car park 5.

Next time I do plane spotting, I may take pictures from here instead of the usual Sheldon Country Park. Great views

There is also a decent spot at the top of Hatchbrook golf course at the side of the Monarch hanger especially in the summer months. There is a little mound that gives you some height and as long as you have a decent camera you can get some good piccies

Hello all,some pictures enclosed from a very dull day last Saturday.Mission was to try and get a landing shot of the Wamos Air 744 arriving from Cancun,it was fortunately late and arrived at 8am just before sunrise so the pictures are a bit grainy as had to use a high ISO to get enough light.

Pictures are quite splendid but the pastel colours of the Wamos titles do not reflect well regardless of light.

Birmingham deserves a regular 747 service as they are fantastic to see. I dare say that because it remains the true Jumbo Jet and has character whilst A380 wins on it's size and enormity.

 

[Brum X]

Awesome photo's elmdon74, they are truly superb

 

[Ray Finkle]

Fantastic pictures as always.

 

[Ianbutty]

Great pictures. Thanks for taking them and posting.

Great to see a true Jumbo. I agree with Jenny we need more. I have most days the Heathrow traffic passing overhead in Essex at 5 to 7,000 feet. At first a 380 was a spectacle but now it just an ugly blob, but when a 747 comes over: what a sight. Sadly they arw becoming rare each year.

Hello everyone,some photo`s from last Saturday another very dull day.Went for the 2 TUI 787-9`s which arrived within 10 minutes of each other.Light was virtually non-existant early on so some pictures are quite grainy.
