Built at Castle Bromwich.

Not BHX but still another cracker from flugsnug, filmed at the Midland Air Festival, Ragley Hall.

Didn't realise it was on. Saw a P51 presumably transiting from there on Sunday. I was alerted by the approaching Merlin followed by the howl of the airflow through the gun ports as it performed a tight turn over Draycote water. Was followed a little later by a jet provost/ strikemaster.

Again, not specifically Birmingham related but another flugsnug corker from the Midland Air Festival.

Another interesting video by Blake Edgington. He had booked with Primera to fly AGP to BHX. From what he says, he thought he was flying on their A321 NEO (I didn't think this was ever scheduled, unless a proving flight if the aircraft had been delivered on time?). He did however get to fly on the Cello B737-300!

The cabin looks excellent and very modern. Indistinguishable from a new airliner.

Great publicity for Cello!

Why don't Cello do Gibraltar, Nice and weekly Med cruise charters from a dedicated Elmdon Terminal, like Titan do from Stansted?

And a name change to Birmingham Cello Airlines would be nice I used to think it was so cool when I was younger seeing Birmingham European airlines flying all over Europe and British Airways (Birmingham) painted on the old noisey 737-200s

Also talking about the Birmingham name on planes, have Jet2 got a Jet2 Birmingham plane yet ?? I see Jet2 Menorca, Jet2 Ibiza etc etc

It would be great to see a fly from Brum scheme but i presume as jet2 passengers are U.K.originating I assume they promote destinations.
Having said that I don't know if they have any aircraft with a British city scheme but if they do surely it would be a Leeds/Yorkshire effort no doubt someone from the Leed/Bradford forum can put me right.

Not sure if the aircraft still have them, but in the past Jet2 have had Manchester, Scotland & Yorkshire branded aircraft.

I've also posted this in the 'Random Stuff!' thread (in reply to Glenn's post regarding it's live bradcast).

Another video, with a little twist. These guys 'Gronk's Plot' are a bunch of railway enthusiasts (nothing wrong with that!), who have decided to have a day as 'aviators' as they put it.
They seem a likeable bunch and have made a good video at BHX.
Well worth a watch! (Brum X, please note that the video is over an hour. You'll need a big pot of tea and mybe more than one packet of Jaffa Cakes! ).

Flugsnug's latest showing what you get when you cross hot weather with an undulating runway:

Vueling A320 BHX - BCN

Video by Blake Edgington. I like his videos, as he does a review of the seat and any food and drink options. He then finishes with 'Pros' and 'Cons'.
I'm 6ft3, so I don't think I'd like the Vueling seat pitch.

National Airlines 757 BHX-EWR

Video by Train_planehub

A video of a very rare service, unlikely to be repeated.
It's around 45 mins, so get that brew on Brum X!
