Birmingham Airport’s planned runway extension has been approved.
I was in the Aviation Experience last week and noticed the display boards with all of the plans and support for this that they have up. Got to be good news for the airport.
It has come to light that a story I reported recently about the Heathrow Visitors Centre car park prices doubling is actually untrue. The report quickly spiralled out of control it seems, and I didn’t help that. So sorry for causing any confusion!
Martin Baird, the Airport Watch Co-ordinator, has confirmed that there are no planned changes in the price of car parking, and enthusiasts are welcome to be there.
Did you know there are some free bus services around London Heathrow that are ideal for spotters moving around the various perimeter locations?
Bus service between Hatton Cross and Terminal 5 are:
423 via northern perimeter road, Bath Road and Longford village.
441 between Central area and Terminal 5 via northern perimeter road
482 and 490 via Terminal 4 and cargo along southern perimeter road.
All of these buses are free between Hatton Cross and the terminals. They will help you travel between spotting locations at Runways 27L, 27R and 09L for viewing when runways change.
Just a little note to let you know there will be no posts for another week as I am away on honeymoon.
Expect an Iceland trip report once I’m back!
