Couple of hours at Birmingham, 26.06.18

[jonf45]

Quick trip over to Brum to get some shots of the Air Austral Dreamy, went to the multi storey car park at Elmdon which looks a great location from 1pm onwards. Heat haze was a bit of an issue, but better than nothing!!!
Managed to get 3 different company Dreamliners in one shot

do you get any bother with viewing from car park?
I've always been told its not great for photography and spotting

any help would be appreciated if thats not the case.

I had no trouble but I was only there a few hours at most. I had full intention of buying a ticket, but the machines only take coins and I only had a tenner and card on me!!! Went and saw the lady in the office and she said not to worry, just explain it to ticket inspector if I see one......I didn't! There was quite a few spotters around and most said they'd rarely seen anyone too.
As per photos, mine were taken between 11 and 2 ish, I'd say from 12 onwards would be best as sun is behind you then. There's not much in way of facilities but there is a services about a mile off if you get desperate!!!

The Air Austral is still here but is expected to go into the hangar soon for the engines to be refitted.
