Birmingham International 18th April 2023

Hi Again

A very windy late afternoon at Birmingham so bad it was a no hat day! The very strong crosswind made for some interesting landings and take off's and for the first time I was asked to vacate the top level at the NCP Multi-storey carpark by one of their workers. :o

One amusing item I forgot hence the edit, the smell of a Jet2 737 tires had me thinking of a chap I knew called Ash which will make more sense to Posrkscratching/Nick than most of you. :lol:

Some pictures lost due to the very strong wind :oops: but an interesting couple of hours all the same.

I hope you like the pictures log to follow.

Regards
Craig

Nice selection. Blue Islands with those looks nice in the Sun.

Love the shot of the two Metros with the Saab.
