If yours was the 30,000th Ray then it is very fitting. Thanks for all your efforts.

Mmmmmmm yes i know, i think an investigation is needed into corrupt behaviour on the LBA thread. I mean what do they have to talk about on the LBA thread, lol.

There is nothing much going on at BHX at the moment so are we missing something here

To all on the LBA thread if you are watching

Apologies if talked about already, but this has been taken from ch-aviation this evening:

orange2fly basing an A320 out of Birmingham for charters

orange2fly (OTF) (based in Athens) will base one of its two A320-200s out of Birmingham Int'l over the next six weeks where it will proffer extra capacity to the market both for short-term ACMI contracts as well as sub-charters and ad-hoc flights.

The aircraft is being exclusively marketed for orange2fly by Air Charter Service.

“We have brought in the aircraft from Greece until April 10 due to a period of high demand and low aircraft availability in Northern Europe at the moment," Matthew Purton, Commercial Jets Director at ACS, said. "There is also a huge swathe of sporting events coming up – it is the quarter-final stages of the UEFA Champions League and Europa League in football, and the Champions Cup and Challenge Cup in rugby. We know how in demand this sort of aircraft can be for such sporting events."

When Birmingham International first opened it had an old plane hanging from the atrium. Does any one know the fate of that A.C.?

I believe it was on loan from the Midland Air Museum and found it's way back there when the first floor was filled in.

Not sure where it is now?

Just checked and it still seems to be there.

I'm going to do some thread cleaning this evening. It may result in the BHX forum reducing its post count.

I was joking

I know that's why I liked it, some off us down here need a sense of humor given the performance of a certain football team.

Hehe, I missed that one

I could always bring the Greater Birmingham Thread back up here, I think there's nearly 600 posts on there now

I was just going to wait to make sure LBA was also reduced before commenting. Otherwise it would of looked dodgy

A great result for Azzurra - Premiere Handling Ltd in winning the Turkmenistan contract.

They've had to make quite an investment to be able to service the 777's.

It says that they will also be handling VLM.
