Birmingham Executive Airways started scheduled service to Oslo FBU from Brimingham in 1988, and this was my first shot of the ariline, as it is taxing out for a rwy 24 departure back home.

The first prototype aircraft. WMCC stands for West Midlands County Council. Only been with BEA a few days. First flight 18 Mar 1982 as G-TALL and retained by British Aerospace. To Birmingham Executive Airways as G-WMCC on 03 Oct 1983. Renamed Birmingham European Airways Mar 1989 and merged into Brymon European Oct 1992. To Maersk Air UK 01 Aug 1993 and flew in BA colours from 18 Aug 1994. WFU 30 Aug 1996. On the BHX fire dump by Nov 1999. The fuselage was moved to West Midlands Fire Service training academy in Smethwick and seen there 03 Oct 2011.

Any help on the location is appreciated.

The airline had changed its name to Birmingham European by the summer of 1989, but this aircraft hadn't had its titles changed yet.

I was to fly Amsterdam-Birmingham on it the following year.

Rolling on runway 33 on a dull misty late afternoon. With BEA Oct 96 until Oct 91. Shortly after this photo was taken it was re-reg G-BNKO and painted in the airline's own livery.

I believe the registration was derived from the first letters of West Midlands County Council.

Although primarily used as a corporate transport prior to the advent of executive jets, a small number of G.159s, such as this one, saw airline service.

This is the first production Jetstream 31. It's first flight was March 18, 1982 and after flying with British Aerospace as G-TALL, the aircraft was delivered to Birmingham Executive on October 3, 1983. It was retired in August 1996 and ended up training airport fire fighters.
