For once some blue sky when An-24 UR-CQE passed overhead London just now, presumably yet another of its daily Birmingham to Ostrava flights.

Ostrava, Slovakia, is where the Kia European car assembly plant is. When the Korean car industry was getting going a good while ago they had a lot of design and engineering input from companies and individuals in Birmingham, where the onetime British Leyland was in comparison running down. I guess the considerable car component industry there still makes a notable amount for them.
