NJCTF- couldn't agree with you more about parking at Elmdon and your suggestion to take foxtrot straight out at the old heli landing point, something I have always said would allow increased parking capacity over at Elmdon which as you rightly say can get extremely chockablock with a few larger aircraft nightstopping in such a restricted area made even more restricted by the new roadways, an accident waiting to happen.
I could never understand why they didn't the Eurojet apron as an opportunity to lay more concrete. The biggest mistake BHX made was to build the Menzies cargo shed in that position, taking up valuable parking space from the old apron.
Great news for BHX however, we have been crying out for decent hangarage and maintainence facilities for years, now we have Flybe, Eurojet and Monarch.
I still can't find any planning application, also wonder how this development fits in to the published masterplan?
