complain as much as they want and to sing
their complaints out loud together with
fellow complainers. The first choir was
organised in Birmingham followed by the
Complaints Choir of Helsinki and Hamburg. The
lyrics were written by the Choir, Music by
Mike Hurley. Project by Tellervo Kalleinen

Here is video of the 'TNT' 737 crash-landing
at Birmingham Airport (EGBB)
This landing happened after the aborted
attempt at Nottingham East Midlands, where
the right main undercarrige was ripped off
and took out the flaps on the right wing. The
aircraft is presently sitting on the unused
runway at Birmingham Airport and can be seen
from the golf course nearby. (So my cousin
informs me!)
Filmed by a news helicopter that was in the
area and handed over to the local Police and
Investigation Team, this is probably the best
footage of an incident like this I have seen. Tags :tnt737crashbirminghamegbb
The first Halfords Birmingham Superprix
(25/08/86)
In 1985, the Birmingham City Council passed
the Birmingham Road Race Bill, which allowed
the Birmingham Superprix for Formula 3000
cars to be held on a circuit of closed
streets near the city centre for two days
during the August Bank Holiday. Previously,
all motor racing on the public streets of
mainland Britain had been outlawed (unless
specifically allowed for in private
legislation).
The first Superprix was held in 1986 and was
subjected to torrential rain. After extensive
delays, this first race was run to a reduced
distance. This is a highlights version of the
F3000 race.
