Re: Birmingham International 13th April 2023

Shame the Air Canada was in Star Alliance livery rather than Air Canada's own. Still, nice to see.

Re: More old photographs from Birmingham International (BHX) in the 80s

That was the first Il-76 that I had seen close-up, and what a fantastic view it was.

It seems almost fanciful now to say that the only Il-76s I had seen previously were Iraqi Airways examples at Heathrow!

Re: MPB.com - can't recommend them enough!

MPB are good, but it is worth shopping around. I sold an EOS 60D last year and Park Cameras offered me £30 more than MPB, with a similar level of good service (quick courier collection, inspection and payment).

Lovely shot, enhanced by Nauru Airlines' pretty livery.

777-2Q8ER VP-BAS landing 09L at Heathrow in 2004, in the rather attractive but short-lived Aeroflot livery from that period:

Re: More old photographs from Birmingham International (BHX) in the 80s

Some great memories there Craig, with some wonderful aircraft (well, perhaps not including the Short 360!). The ATA L-1011s looked fantastic in that colour scheme.

I agree with Paul, the shots of sunlit aircraft set against dark clouds really work well.

Re: Some old photographs from Birmingham in the 80s

Some wonderful shots there, not least the Worldways DC-8. BHX had some excellent photography spots in the 1980s.

Those shots illustrate well how wet it was at times! The ETF arrival was perfect timing while we waited for the rather excellent food at the Greek Street Cafe.
