BHX Movements and Heads Up

[rollo]

The freight side of the airport was busy yesterday with twenty-two different aircraft being seen including three AN26, two of Vulkan Air and one from Constanta. The rest generally smaller stuff AT72s, SF340s etc. Largest aircraft being B733s of Air Express and West Atlantic.

The second Smart Lynx A333 for STS arrived last night.

Any further National 747s due at all or were they just a set of flights for a certain period? They seemed to be (for BHX) quite regular for a while.

Finished according to Olton Pete on another website, he is very well informed shame really its good to see "The Queen of the Sky " at BHX. as they become rarer.

I had a feeling that the service was coming to an end prior to the final flight. I don't know why, as I hadn't read anything it was just a feeling. I don't know what the National B747's were carrying, but at the time there was a shortage of baby formula milk in the USA. The flights seemed to stop as US production re-started.

Hi Andy. Looking at FR24 it all seems normal at Luton. Perhaps this happened earlier in the day. I now hear Brize Norton has runway problems.

As of 18:08 on Monday, a Wizz Air from Varna is holding over NE London.

Looking at FR24, it looks like departures are continuing, but not using the full length of runway so it may be a problem at the touchdown end.

Looking and I ay seen anything from Berlin come into BHX.

I did wonder this myself, but nothing showing from Berlin today. Maybe they used another airport .
