Special Stream they Hit 5K please watch the Car ride there and back you see the Family
I hope everyone on here can join me In Congratulating Airport Action on 5K they are looking at covering Hans Airways Ingrual Flight as of yet no reply but it is good Publicity for BHX as they have a fair few International Viewers wither that be for the Planes or the Wonderful Antics and Community as there song is Car Full Of Spotters on the 45 (Brimful Of Asha) I will be playing that now

Link that incase you were wondering it was from the 90's the 5K milestone broke before EK37 landed at Birmingham Live chat replay will show us all going mad at the milestone

I have recently watched the stream and find it soothing but as with any live stream, I prefer silence, to appreciate jet noise etc.

Yes I agree the background chat is off-putting for me so I've pretty much given up on it. I much prefer the Maho Beach Bars web cam in St Martin now that's my idea of soothing.

 

[JENNYJET]

I keep a line on SXM because there is always unusual movements with Netherlands Air Force. Especially during hurricane season, keep watching.

I saw it land on the bus which later Broke down so the Wifi was terrible and saw it take off just before my lesson after break started

I'm not surprised that the bus broke down if an A350 landed on it. In fact, I'd expect the bus to be flattened - Sorry, I couldn't resist

At a guess, it looks like from the footbridge that crosses the railway line about 1/4 mile from Marston Green Station. Could be wrong though !!

 

[JENNYJET]

Is it near Lea Hall or the station before Marston Green? I forget the name being exiled to Worcestershire!

It's the footbridge over the railway on the Granby Avenue industrial estate, next to where the cement factory used to be.

Used to head down there as a kid when it was a level crossing and put pennies on the tracks for trains to flatten. Obviously a very dangerous and silly thing to do and definitely NOT recommended.

yes spot on! nice spot for runway 15 approaches but very isolated out of working/school hours.

No roads there so the level crossing must have been for pedestrians

It was for pedestrians although nothing more than some planks of wood in between the tracks.

Not much in the way of H&S back then.

RCAF Airbus CC-150 Polaris (A310) at BHX

Airport action managed to record the departure from BHX

Great colour scheme, much better than the drab overall grey that I was expecting.
