Went up to Birmingham today as the weather was glorious 😎 I was chuffed to get back up there after the exams i’ve been having recently so it was a nice break.
My main intention was to capture the Air India B777….it was an interesting day for it. Firstly it arrived from Toronto 15 mins after it was due to depart to Amritsar & Dehli, secondly it was on very short final for runway 33 when it had to do a missed approach which i still haven’t got a cofirmed reason for. :confused:
Also it was the return of the EK A330s as you know the service went double daily on June 1st. Anyway instead of me typing here are today’s results.
Enjoy! 😀
BTW i have a few more to upload after this post.

Thank’s Jon 😀
Air India B777 from Toronto?? is that a scheduled service ???
Yep, three times weekley service at the moment arriving from India on a Wednesday, Friday and Sunday and then departing to Canada. It then arrives back from Canada the following day (Thursday, Saturday & Monday).
So the only day of the week the Air India 777 isn’t in BHX is a Tuesday. 😉

Great shots. The nose spot on the Air India 777 is gross, it would look better with a white nose.

Very nice Tom, excellent stuff. Flybe Q400 wins it for me. I look forward to visiting BHX in the summer.
