Birmingham Airport - Video Thread

It's been while since I posted on here but this is my vidoe on Emirates return to BHX. I hope everyone is safe & well -

Cracking video mate

Good to see you back

Today I woke up with a hunger to see some planes, it has been such a long time I was literally starving plane action, lol. I got my stuff together and headed over to BHX for the "mini" early afternoon rush

Sorry about the wind on top of the car park hill, it does get rather blowy and it is even more open now as there are literally no cars

Interesting that this video shows work being done around and to the SSW the 33 ILS/glideslope antennae, parallel to R33. This seems to tie in with Matt995's excellent news in the NOTAMS thread -

33 ILS now fully Cat 3b again, as from Saturday.

I thank Kevin for an excellent snapshot of activity at BHX and for his endurance of the conditions. I always enjoy the little films now I am not mobile, I just miss the Kerosine scent!

Credit goes to Brum X for the video, not me. I just quoted it to highlight the work on the ILS.

Poignant. To all those BHX supporters; maintain your positivity and enthusiasm as encouraging days are ahead. Here in Australia the traditional Industry is on life support yet new airlines are emerging (and growing) with the ambition and credentials to forge a new era of aviation. The adage “when one door closes another one opens” has never been truer.

hope you enjoy my video of the An74

What a funny looking plane with those engines stuck on the roof. You can tell it's Russian, lol

The original idea, was from Boeing with their YC-14 development aircraft.

.......and it is different, a refreshing change to the usual.

Nice video of the Canadian Air Force A310.

 

[Ray Finkle]

And a little bit of plane spotting.

 

[JENNYJET]

A fine look at the Canadian Airbus, the better for having NO commentary, thank you Sir Raymond!

 

[Ray Finkle]

Something a little different.

Probably best viewed without sound.

Excellent..... where was the landing airfield ?

Excellent..... where was the landing airfield ?

I tried to follow it from Earlswood Lakes on Google Maps but gave up in the end.

Nice video including a Turkish 789 and a smokey AN12.

Great video! Nice to watch some aviation again.
Unbelievable how empty the long stay car park is. There also appear to be some shed like structures at the far end. I've never noticed them before. Anyone know what they are?
