Leeds Bradford: Runways, Aprons and Taxiways

Use this prefix for new threads for Leeds Bradford Airport
The stand-taxiway boundary markings between stands 9-18 are being moved this week. This will extend the stands by 5-10m and make taxiway Alpha narrower. I suspect this is to reconfigure the apron road later when the terminal extension is operational.
 
NOTAM has been issued for this winters overnight Runway closure for Essential maintenance.

The runway extension is 40 years old today.

Quite incredible the short length of runway available to aircraft before the runway was extended, although as we know landing distance still remains similar today esp R32 due to the positioning of the TDZ further down the runway.
I bet it was quite a sight stood on harrogate road watching aircraft esp the jets depart R32 just becoming airbourne in time!

More fun standing on Victoria Avenue directly behind a 1-11 or 737 departing off 14.

Whilst viewing a regular live Video stream from LBA on Saturday it was noticeable that several stands are cordoned off outside the terminal and they are full of diggers, lorries and other equipment,.suggesting the imminent start of more overnight runway repairs, it the creation of the two new stands, or both.

I’m guessing some of it is for the new GPU Ground power support units been installed from Stand 7 up to 14 if I remember correctly.

They overnight runway closures don’t commence until November 11th

i must be a lunatic. Friday 25th Sept will see me doing a daytrip that involves me leaving my flat in Manchester at 1am and not getting back home until after midnight. All because I'm doing a Loch Ness and Scottish Highlands trip.... out of Glasgow

For some weird reason, my days off work tend to involve being out of my flat by 5am and not getting back until 10pm. Back to work and the regular "fix" of 7.40am to 7.15pm hours
