Civilian Aviation

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.

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.

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

I hope you like the pictures log to follow.

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

Hi bhxreg1

Yes that's a smart colour scheme for Blue Islands,

Love the shot of the two Metros with the Saab.
