Planes at Birmingham Int'l Airport, BHX | 09/11/13

A grey, wet morning at Birmingham Airport on Saturday 9th November 2013.
The Thomson (FCA) 767 featured in this video, G-OOBK was actually a substitute aircraft. Another 767, G-OOBL had flown transatlantic over night from Barbados and was then scheduled to operate to Barbados again on this morning. However during its arrival at Birmingham at about 7:35 it declared an emergency for reasons unknown, so the aircraft was then unable to perform the flight to Barbados again. Thats where the 767 featured in this video comes in, it positioned in empty from London Gatwick at about 9:30 and operated the flight to Barbados just under 2 hours late.

INCLUDES: Thomson (FCA) 767-300, Emirates 777, Ryanair 737's, Lufthansa 737, BA Cityflyer ERJ190 (G-LCYR), KLM Cityhopper ERJ190 and KLM 737, Flybe Embraer 170's & Dash8 Q400's, Air France A318, Eurowings CRJ900, BAE-146 (plain white) and a few other business jets!

Also featured a runway swap during this video. During the first half RWY15 was in use, meaning arrivals were straight over my head. However it later changed to RWY33, which sent departures shooting towards me!

Thanks for Watching!
