Can you also confirm that BHX now have a loader that can get up to and unload a 747 freighter, as BHX confirmed to me they didn't have one last year.

I heard recently they were going to buy one but no one will confirm if they now have one.

However I am told they have recently marked out a 747/MD-11 stand Elmdon side which if true suggests they will need one.

Why would the airport buy a main deck loader??
