BHX runway extension + Monarch hangar movements - end 2013
This is the Birmingham Airport runway extension as it looks from the south and the east at the end of 2013. The western edge of the long-stay car park offers great views of the extension and new taxiways, which are due for completion in Spring 2014.

The MAEL (Monarch) maintenance hangar has been busy since opening a few weeks ago, and some of its visitors are shown here (most being towed around the airfield). Two to note are RAF Voyager (Airbus A330) ZZ333, and Monarch A300 G-MONS having its last engine run before flying to the US for scrapping.
