Birmingham Airport - Picture Thread

[Ray Finkle]

Great pictures as usual, some lovely colours.

I do like the Eurowings colour scheme.

Lovely Icelandair colour scheme but that taxiway corner looks tight for the B777, let alone an A380/A340. Why didn't they widen it further? Perhaps there are plans to do so?

It was said on here recently that widening may take place during the November night closures.

I love all the different colours and I didn't know OO-VLP was still in Vizion livery (are they still operational?!).

Few pics from a very foggy Monday morning.Was just about able to see the Elmdon apron but most of the new terminal stands were invisible for most of the day.The AI 777 and 757 F-HCIE were not graphed unfortunately.

Regards,simon.

I love those pictures, to me far more evocative than glossy pics on a bright summer's day (not that I don't like that type of pic too).

Today's pics show a working airport 'in the raw'. When I visit a city I've not been to before I often stray from the tourist locations to discover the 'ordinary' areas which is what cities (and airports) are all about so far as I'm concerned.

Hi all,few pictures from last Tuesday 24th.Main reason of visit was first visit of Wizzair A321 which landed just before sunset!

Regards,simon.

Morning only visit last Saturday for the 2 Antonov`s whilst there was a short break in the rain.

Regards,simon.

Fantastic pictures as always, thanks for posting them :hatsoff:

Did you happen to notice if the viewing area is still closed off?

 

[elmdon74]

Yes Ray.Still taped/fenced off,no sign of WIP,shelter gone.Regards,simon.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Many thanks.

I'm hoping to get down at some point this week if the weather picks up.

Loving the Antonov pics, are they regulars at the airport?

Where do you take your shots from?

Yes, it's not unusual for us to get two or three in one day.

Where do you take your shots from?

The TUIfly 767 was from the Long Stay car park it looks like. The Antonov aircraft are on the Elmdon (western) apron although I haven't been to the Elmdon buildings and don't know the location.

 

[Ray Finkle]

The rather unfortunately registered AN-12, UR-CNT, is in at the moment.

 

[elmdon74]

Hi all,thanks for the comments on the pics.They are taken from the top floor of the MSCP on the Elmdon side for the Antonov`s.Bottom 2 floor for car parking all floors OK on foot.Others as said from the long stay car park,rear part is now fenced off next to 33 sierra holding point,but landing shots OK if you stand back from the perimeter fence.Went past the viewing area today and there were 2 diggers excavating a large hole with several large sections of pipe nearby and several drainage channels also being dug.So it looks like repairs are in hand.Regards,simon.

 

[elmdon74]

Another day,another Antonov,Tuesday saw 1st visit by UR-CNT depart after arriving Monday afternoon.
