A passenger Tristar?
Not many of those about these days……
You would have to be an early riser to catch it!
45-minute turnarounds in Birmingham? Their aircraft can hold 337 passengers. This seems such a short amount of time to get so many people and their bags off of such a large aircraft, then to clean it and then to load it up again, ready for its next flight.
Wishful thinking on their part maybe? 90 minutes at least I would of thought.
Fantastic shots Grey!
Looking at that MYT 330 makes me look foreward even more to my trip on one in just over a week from now! 😀 I’ll be flying from MAN also…..anyone be able to get a picture? 😉
A fantastic selection there, my favourite has to be the Flybe landing in fron on the Monarch…:D
Plus I got two flightdeck visits!
Yeah I forgot to mention that as I got a flightdeck visit when we arrived back at BHX………if you read my trip report a member of the cabin crew said this wouldn’t be possible as pictures are not allowed but of course at the end of theflight the Captain said it was fine!
Well only travelled with them once and that was for the Dublin meet on the 6th July (BHX-DUB-BHX), well overall I thought they were good. Ontime departure out of BHX but a 2 hour delay on the way back which took them a while to give a reason for, roughly 30 mins before the late departure!
I would travel with them again but I would hope for a 800……;)
Thanks Michael, I may still get some of the Dublin photos on here.
I really want to try Aer Lingus if I return to Dublin, as said in my report the A320 parked next to us after arriving at BHX seemed like a very comfy ride even from the outside!
surprised you didnt mention ‘the oil incident’ LOL.
Well I wasn’t going to tell…..going leave that desicion open to you on whether to tell anyone! 😉 😀
Thanks for all the comments everyone….glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
Well nothing special for me……..

I was so close to getting Vodaphone on the way back as you know……ahh well like Matt I would of preferred an 800 for the flight back to BHX. Writing the trip report now.

The Maersk 737 is my fave 😉
EDIT: Just noticed the bmi behind the Flybe, a rare sight at BHX only seen at weekends….
Sorry to use this thread for this message, but Tom – please empty your PMs!
Oops! Okay space is available now 😀

Yes for now 🙁 unless I sort something else out which is possible being a while off yet.
