jfy1999, really lovely collection of shots, plenty of variety.

Quick question please, can you just rock up to car park 5 on the day or do you have to prebook?

Thanks in advance.

Hi snagsanger

You can pay on the day. The charges are here but may make for some unpleasant reading...

Thank you so much for the info.

Blimey, I might have enough for an hour if I start saving now

I agree that at first sight, the charges appear horrific but let us consider similar costs for entertainment.

A Premier League Football ticket Plus parking?

A visit to the Bull Ring ( purchasing plus parking )?

I can just manage half a day of aircraft viewing with those charges on my very limited income perhaps once monthly but I do not do McDonalds, Cinema, other paid recreational activities.

At this time, I rely upon my location as to approach paths into R33 and departing flights that route to SW or Brize Norton at low level over my home for my viewing, often with use of binoculars. Subject, of course, to wind and cloud base.

I would so welcome the chance to revisit BHX as a viewer and not as a passenger.

My disabilities prevent full exploration of the airfield and with Peggy ( my Staffie ) in tow, my options are limited.

My interest in Photography has been mentioned, I am not fond of the Digital format though I own two Bridge cameras, but I prefer the robustly built Nikons that use good old fashioned Film which requires skill and patience to capture an image worthy of enlargement and framing for wall art.

As and when my PIP outcome is revealed to me, I may begin to live again. At this moment in time, I lose my car in 3 weeks.

Sir Raymond, I apologize for drifting off topic, my Blood is up and I feel some frustration because I envy you all for the ease of access.

The photography posted has been impressive ad most welcome to me. Sadly the video postings are not permitted on my Tablet.

Thank you all.

Hi Jenny,

I hope brighter days are ahead for you.

Great photos, Simon. Thanks for sharing. Great to see such variety.

Looking at the remote ramp and imagining a remote pier, as once proposed. Would be awesome.

Once again great shots Simon, I very much enjoyed these,

Which spot did you take them from?
