dantheflyboy :
Your comments are pretty much spot on , Eastern airways also use the old T1 for the NCL flight.
Nigel :
The old masterplan has gone out the window . This is from the Birmingham airport site :
"We have been awaiting the outcome of the Airports Commission before doing this but now that Birmingham Airport has not been shortlisted for a potential second runway we will soon be consulting the community on an updated Master Plan so that their views can be taken into account when preparing the new plan."
