It's great as I was sat this side, the window in the 'S'.

Thanks again.

Thanks to all who 'liked', or commented on my photos of BHX past. They seem quite popular, so here are a few more.
The first one is for Thunderchild -

Note, the ground power supply to the One-Eleven. Were these removed when the pier was rebuilt?

Did Monarch have regular DC10 flights? Where did they fly?

 

[JENNYJET]

I recall seeing the Monarch DC-10 at around the time when PIA were using B747-300‘s looking quite magnificent.

Thanks again, for your comments and 'likes' for my photos.
My apologies, for the picture size. On posting yesterday, the pictures were 'clickable' to give a size of 1600 pixels. On posting today, using the same technique, gives a resolution of 800 pixels. I've been trying my best to remedy this
discrepancy, but as yet, I haven't found a solution. I'm rapidly losing faith in Flickr.

I don't know if this will work, but a link to my photos can be found here (should you wish to view the photos in higher resolution) -

Having tried it, it seems to work.

Great photos. Can I ask please what the building in the distance was in picture 2 please and why would there have been 3x BA B747s at BHX?

Hi BHXsupporter

The building in the distance in the second photo -

was a temporary concrete plant, used during extensions to the apron.
The 3 BA 747's were diversions from LHR, due to fog (along with the A300's of Alitalia and Kuwait Airways). I assume you refer to this photo -

Which I thought I had posted, but can't find it in the thread anymore.

[Edit] sorry, my mistake. The photo is available on my Flickr page, but I didn't post it on Forums4airports. Thought I was going mad

Regards.

Thanks again.

It's great when you get a picture of the aircraft you are actually flying in. Thanks once again for the picture of the Denim Air last September.

 

[Ray Finkle]

My pleasure

This is the first time that I've managed to track down a picture of an aircraft that I'm actually on, so a big thank you to Brum X
