Oldest recorded date of an Airbus A380 in Birmingham Airport. Initial services begun officially in March 2016 and revised in July 2023 after a 2-3 year gap hiatus during the COVID 19 pandemic.

A golden age of aviation

Hello, Would you allow me to use some seconds of footage from your video to add to a short trailer I am making for a book I wrote about Birmingham Airport some years ago for my KZbin Channel? Full credit will be given of course. Thanking you, Peter kzbin.info/door/MkFuiFVNzQ9R_FlY9cdyuw

The beast is like “watch me do it one more time”!

One brilliant machine.. so glad i had the chance to travel in one❤

You gotta love every one of these aircraft. These jets & airlines are so much more exciting than the stuff you can see at todays airports around the world.

I am the second interviewee on this video and the event was very soon after I had taken the Hon Secretary's job with the then Vulcan 558 Club, latterly the Vulcan to the Sky Club. I was involved with the project to return XH558 to flight for 10 years. The fact that three Vulcan airframes remain in active order is testament to the volunteers who look after them. The Vulcan, is the most famous of the three V bombers and is an example of totally British aeronautical engineering at its zenith.

I'd love to hear my Dad, from the 60's through to the nearly 200 I'd love to hear more, from the 60's to just before 2000....xxxx

Still listening...xx

I'm listening to the commentary, hoping it's my Dad.... its not..🥲🥲🥲

My Dad would have been working then as an ATC....xxxxxxx

Excellent 👍👍👍😀😀😀😀

Wow nice video do you have any other videos like this?

Great video but this cant be July 1990. The Vauxhall Carlton that appears is a H plate. That was August 1990 to August 1991.......

I love all those birdies....... 😎😎😎😍😍😍

As of today the extended runway is here the monarch maintance shop is there the smaller planes still use the own runway near the monarch workshop and terminal 2 is still here the control tower is still here and of course they’ve extended the car park slightly to increase capacity of everyone using the car park

The Jersey aero Club have been doing airborne Treasure Hunts, as part of the Jersey Air Rally, years before 1996. I used to help run them. It was superb fun.

i saw this landing yesterday at the end of the runway birmingham airport very loud compared to the smaller planes

I love the a380 so much. They are beautiful. I give credit to airbus. I wish I could see one really bad.

Great landing. Liked and subscribed.

The A380 has no style, its just a massive hump of shit. I'd prefer to see an MD-80/MD-83, 747 or 767-300 land at BHX

The ship Columbus you were close to used to be the original Arcadia with P&O back in the late 90s. Looking her age compared to the Aurora. Can't believe how good the weather was for you :-)

Now this happens on a daily basis. Birmingham needs 747's now. They're just like the A380's except the upper deck is only at the front

This looked just like a regular train. I wish it was:-)

Nice one

Does anyone know why they've closed the plane viewing area at Birmingham airport? I used to go there around 1998.

I have subbed to you maybe you could sub back

go Paddy!

This is my teenage years in one video. I'm guessing it was.a Monday cos JU193 but no CY466?

Oh the BA 1:11 made me cry

Great vid! I have subbed! Sub back

A380 owns the skies indeed! Beautiful landing.

OMG when I seen that take off my heart het a beat

OMG A380 IS COMING TO BIRMINGHAM FROM 27 TH MARCH (emirates)

Awwww! I have so many lovely memories of this bridge...as children my sister and I would stand on it with our Dad watching the trains for ages...We used to guess which direction the next one would come from!!!!

Gonna be a regular sight soon!
