BHX Movements and Heads Up

[Kevin Farnell]

Airport Action are streaming live from BHX today, so it should be possible to watch the B747 land.

My apologies, it appears the video I was watching was filmed yesterday. I saw the red 'live' flag and assumed it was today.

[EDIT] - Airport Action are now streaming live from BHX, but it's very foggy.

The Titan/Geodis A333 also in today due out ETD 12:15 to Zhengzhou. The Uzbekistan 767 should depart back Tashkent at 15:15e. as usual.

Information via FR24 and Ian's blog.
Anyone know what these flights are carrying or is it a state secret? ^*

I've been wondering the same. According to Ian's blog, the National B747 is due to depart to Zhengzhou. Which way is the freight going and why so much involving Tashkent and Zhengzhou?

Watching Airport Action, a USAF KC-135 has just landed at BHX!

He must be frozen through, that guy who does the live stream.

Good on him though, he certainly is committed to providing non stop action whatever the weather.

Might he some diverts away from BHX Sunday morning. Snow expected

That'll be Kev (not me). Someone today donated some money to him to buy thermal/heated insoles for his shoes.

Watching Airport Action, a USAF KC-135 has just landed at BHX!

Re-watching the landing and taxi, I don't think it's a USAF aircraft. It's very scruff and has no national insignia, just the number '295' on the nose and tail.

Israeli Air Force 707 apparently, diverted from Mildenhall.

According to FR24 the National 744 is departing at 16:15 going to Guangzhou but given FR24s dodgy info lately who knows I'd go with Zhengzhou and Ian's site.

Confirmed as Israeli Air force 707 295,Mildenhall diversion. Wanted Manchester but was refused unless an emergency, Waddington was closed ,Brize fogbound,Bristol runway too short,so BHX was best alternate.Regards,Simon.

When was the last time that BHX had a B707?

 

[whateverg]

Has it left yet?

 

[Vinny94]

Wow, a 747 and a 707 in one day!

Geodis A330-343 P2F G-EODS positioned from Birmingham to Stansted tonight under AWC288P. Hope that isn't the last we see of it operating out of BHX.

I think it's positioned from BHX to STN before.

Enter Air B737-800 (SP-ESI, ENT2010) due from BFS at 08:51. Departs to Enonfekio (ENF) at 10:00 as ENT3011. Santa flight?

G-EODS A330-300 (AWC287P) due from STN at 08:12. No outbound from BHX currently showing.

The Geodis A333 is now due in from STN at 20:30 then out to Zhengzhou. Kavock AN 12 also due at 17:30 from Keflavick then to Malaga.

Reflecting on November the quietest month of year we have had a load of interesting movements on the side of the airport including Geodis, Uzbekistan, National, Georgian plus EMA freight movements along with the RAF contributing various A400,A330 and a Falcon. Plenty of GA stuff, football charters etc.

Meanwhile December started with a bang with the Israeli KC135 ( never thought I'd see one of them at BHX) and a RAF Voyager diverting in along with the National 744 on another run and a few GA weather diverts.

I'm sure I've missed some but Elmdon is truly the gift that keeps on giving.

Icing on th cake with the BA A319 divert.
