They are planned to stay until Monday, so it looks like all the northern spotters will be visiting en route to Fairford.
Will these airplanes be visible over the weekend and is there any info on the next 2 T-6Cs (which should be in Goose Bay by this evening) joining them over the weekend?.

Both now arrived, and yes, they will be visible.
We don't do hangarage at BHX-not for the time being at least.
No info on the next two.

Planes are on the Elmdon apron at BHX.

If you are visiting by car the rear portion of the aircraft are visible through windows at the old terminal (cargo/GA) side. From here you can read the numerical serials, 13 and 14.
To see the aircraft in full and read the codes, TM & TN, you need to drive past the Elmdon area towards the city and park in the golf course on the next right. There is a small path next to the office buildings from where you can look across and see the apron in ts entirety.

First two still here. Nothing planned as of Monday 1100 local time.

Apparently the next two due into Glasgow this morning, so may be flying way over our heads to Bournemouth later on.......
