BHX 30th March Second Attempt

Thanks Kev, I’ll certainly tell you when I next visit BHX, it will be great to see more photographing points (it will probably be next March now).

I think EK use the 777 instead of the additional A330 service, don’t they use the A330 for the new Glasgow service instead? I’m hoping it will be the A330 I see in MAN because I want to photograph my first one of the type, I’ve got them on video but never photographed them.

Comet.

Excellent thread. Next time you’re at BHX let me know and I’ll take you up on the carpark where you can get good approach and departure shots. Apparently there’s a good spot I’ve yet to visit at Sheldon Country Park.

You got some very good shots there. Emirates seem to be using the 777 a lot now, possibly instead of the twice daily A330 that was proposed?

No Guarav, I haven’t taken photos from the station. This was my first ever visit to BHX, but I will remember your tip for next time I am there – thanks!

I am looking at BHX in June instead of MAN for my spotting, but depends on the earliest time I can get there (earliest time at MAN is 10:15 direct train from Scarborough – with BHX I have to change trains in York).

Hi
Have you ever taken any picstures from the train station before the airport. I got excellent tkae off pics from there

Wannabe pilot – apart from the obvious one there, my highlight of the spot was the Q400, that was the only one of the type I saw, just as I was waiting for SNBA to make an appearance to take off. It was also a change for me to see the EK 777, normally at MAN I have only seen their A330s, though I don’t rave about the 777 because I don’t see anything beautiful or unusual about it as a type.

I can recommend BHX for the unusual, especially Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan carriers, but they weren’t there on the day I was, so I was very disappointed about that because the other airports I am spotting at this year (namely Manchester and Brussels) don’t see those carriers. Next year we will fly from BHX again because I just loved it there. Wish I could go more often!

Nice pics, love those Q400’s 😀 BHX is a lot quieter than STN, but they seem to have a lot more ‘proper’ airlines.

Thanks for your comments, and thanks MarkL for the reg of the ERJ, I wasn’t able to see it properly.

nice pics Comet,
I always like to see such pics taken from airports around the world.

All showing now Comet, nice picss! The ERJ145 with the Tartn tail is G-EMBK that flew me from EDI to BHX last November 🙂

Yeah, they’re all working just fine now. Looks like a good airport, look forward to it in june.

A load of lucky devils about to take off to Brussels!

BHX – I love it!!

Beautiful sight:D

Europe’s greatest airline:D

From the side, the “Q400” looks badly-proportioned and ungainly, but from the front this aircraft is a beauty. This is the Flybe one again.

I am proud of this photo, not because it’s a rare aircraft, but because after seeing the Dash 8-100, and the regional jets of Flybe, I had given up on seeing the Dash 8-Q400, and then this taxied into view.

Another A320 of MyTravelLite.

I waited hours for them, and I wasn’t disappointed!
