BHX Movements and Heads Up

[Ray Finkle]

The Privilige 763 isn't military although it is operating in an official capacity.

I'm not sure if it's considered sensitive or not so to avoid potentially getting people into trouble it's probably best for me not to post details.

Monarch used to regularly do Niarobi flights for the MOD taking or picking up squaddies, also Belize.(A330)

It appears thoseTUI 757s just don't want to leave just yet.

G-OOBP looks to be positioning in from Gatwick today operating to Paphos, hope it actually happens they can stay as long as they like for me.

They’re also using it on this mornings flight to Malaga. Which is believed to be an upgrade to the usual 737.

Hopefully that means loads are good he says optomiscaly.

Had a quick look at todays planned movements and get a total of 143 with 72 arrivals and 71 departures passenger flights only so quite busy given the times we are living in.

Showing delayed again so due later may even be on its way. Hope it does eventually get here as A340s are rare beasts even possible that it would be the last one seen at BHX they have been few and far between.

A pair of RAF A109 choppers dropped in earlier today and the PIA A332 makes its second appearance also.

 

[mullion]

Oh those were the choppers you didn`t see then!

 

[HPsauce]

Just seen your post!

For the record ZJ782 arrived at 09.51 as HAMMER 11 and ZJ 783arrived at 09.54 as HAMMER 15 both departed as HAMMER formation at 11.55 a.m. They are army air corps machines not RAF as I posted and no I didn't see them ( live 25 or so miles away) the information is freely available on the excellent and reliable BHX blogspot site among others.

BHX has considerable military traffic and not just from the UK the over the course of a year given its proximity to Brize Norton and the fact Birminghams Queen Elizabeth hospital has a military wing to treat injured service personnel.

Think I've strayed a bit from movements and heads up - sorry.

 

[rollo]

Should have said BHXmovements blogs site.

 

[mullion]

It was suggestion to them being SAS lol! We had a Puma turn up here one evening and the all these soldiers
dive off carrying weapons and in maskes etc which casued a little bit of a stir to say the least, i suppose we can laugh now but at the time

 

[rollo]

O.k fine by me we all need a sense of humour, mines is pretty off centre according to the wife.

I think We have the SAS back soon at BHX but they apparently are a Scandinavian outfit.

Enjoy your day
