I controlled at BHX in the 80`s , great days .
The brymon twin otter , single pilot , was flown by very good airmen . It was often number 3 in the sequence to land but was almost always first on the apron at the old terminal by landing on rwy 24 instead off 33 .
A colleague did a flight deck familiarisation flight down to heathrow and back and was expecting the BMA shorts 360 .
Fortunately it was substituted by the DC9-30 that day , and on the way back it took 13 minutes from take off at heathrow to touchdown on 33 !
Happy days
