A weekend in Coventry, landing at Birmingham EGBB

Thanks. Did you make a stop on the way to the UK?

Are these trips for business or pleasure? Coventry was one of the first places in the UK I ever visited (admittedly many years ago), and didn‘t think much of it (like most of the rest of the Midlands, but I wonder if I am doing this area too much injustice..).

On a way to UK I made a stop at EBOS – €62 landing and €2.45 Jet-A1 – pretty expensive. I paid less for 200 litres at EGBB than for 100 at EBOS.

My son graduated at Coventry Uni and I was attending the ceremony

BTW I had great fun watching different aircrafts via ADL190 ADS-B.

Pegasus from Istanbul to Charleroi

Lufthansa A340 from LAX to MUC

Same flight shown within ForeFlight

Nice report update!

On top of that they delivered fuel for GBP 0.97 (EUR 1.14) which is much cheaper than in Croatia (EUR 1.80) of Belgium (2.45) which I used as refuelling stop on my way to EGBB.

That’s awesome 👏
I fueled up my car today and Diesel was a bit over 2€/L 😡

always learning

I think JetA in UK is about Croatia if you add 0.7€/L of tax duty the tax duty only applies for private leisure flights (JetA in private fighter jets) not to international or training flights…

How much is mineral oil tax for Jet A1 and what’s VAT in UK?

5% (which you did pay, most likely) and 58p (which you didn‘t pay).

So still cheaper than anywhere else in Europe.
