Delta-Hotel
The former ineptitude of the then cargo handling agents, combined with the inevitable restrictions on night operations at an airport so close to residential areas essentially resulted in BHX being an impractical location for the sort of intense operations that happen over my head each night at EMA!
I think the heyday for cargo at BHX was the late nineties when Ford were using BHX to resucue the production of the new Jaguar S Type with at times almost daily 747 and DC10 freighter operations from Detroit Willow Run - remember the Kalita and Atlas 747s, and the Gemini DC10s - ahh, those were the days!
