BHX Movements and Heads Up

[rollo]

Probably just peak summer reductions which is pretty normal because of reduced demand as much of Europe shuts down in July into August. Air France main line have practically disappeared recently with services operating by smaller capacity aircraft by Hop.

Back to Air India. FR24 shows A117D as departed currently due to head south of Moscow arriving around 15:24 and A117 operating as normal. The airport site doesn't show A117D and has A117 as cancelled meanwhile Ian's blog has just operating A117 operating normally and yesterday's flight as delayed so possibly two Air India today.

Summary FR24 says two, movementsblog says one BHX says zero!
Best wait and see.

Yesterday ex-S7 737 MAX did engine test & today the Air Canada A321 also done an engine test. Both doing the tests on TwyT Y (On the BHX Chart - http://www.gcmap.com/diagrams/pdf/EGBB.pdf) I think both will be leaving very soon.

Both seem to have been at BHX since the dawn of time. Last time I saw a picture of the Ex - S7 B737 Max, it had no engines.

Also G-BSAH islander visited BHX yesterday (25 July) went to XLR & departed about an hour later but was not added to https://bhxmovements.blogspot.com/ but I could not track it on FR24, ABS or anything. Anyone know where it came off & headed off to?

I think the reason it had no engines is because the aircraft was on lease and repossessed, normally the engines are leased from the engine manufacturer so will return to them while the actual airframe is under a separate/concurrent lease.

Please don't mention Primera again!!. What a sad episode in BHX history. So much damage done, and still not recovered!. In relation to the A321, no, we never saw them, just the leased Nationair 757 rust bucket. In fact it was the late delivery of the A321 that sent Primera under.

Sorry. When I wrote the message I did think of the pain it may cause.

You are right the damage was immense.

FR24 shows it parking on the Western Apron near the XLR Executive Centre, so possibly football related?

FR24 is showing RAF C17 (RRR6705), due from Rzeszow (RZE) at 16:21. Showing for departure to BZZ at 17:45.
No other info is given, so whether this flight operates, we'll have to wait and see.

 

[rollo]

Looks like C17 will happen Rzeszow departures show it departing to BHX at 14:50 and the BZZ feed gives arrival from BHX at 15:56 still no reg.detail.

There is also an RAF A332 at Rzeszow which looks like that may go to STN all to do with Putin no doubt.
