Thanks for the comments T5!!!!!!!!:D 🙂 😀 🙂
I know what you mean i guess i picked a lucky time such a wide variety of aircraft, airlines and colourful liveries.:D
I’m not so sure about the U.S. carriers the only time i’ve seen an american carrier is a Continental 757-200 and i couldn’t get a pic because i was walking up the steps to my hoiliday plane, i’m not so sure about the last time an American Airlines plane came.
The most famous plane to come to BHX was Air Force One and now we have the hounor of having Concorde, i’ll really need to find out when it’s coming to BHX.

Very good bunch. I think Birmingham is probably the only airport in the country to offer such as assortment of aircraft… international carriers like Emirates and some US carriers, British aircraft of all shapes and sizes and charters, too! 😉

Ren,

The Aer Lingus aircraft isn’t on a stand it’s actually being pushed back. You can see the tug. As for the airbrakes perhaps it’s part of the final checks. Wys might know.

Ah yes, so it is. Probably a momentary check captured by the camera ?

Nice pics, I like the first Aer Lingus shot. Is it normal to sit on the stand with the airbrakes open like that ?
