Central News: HM The Queen's Opening of Birmingham International Airport BHX Report 4 April 1984 

We live relatively close to Birmingham airport but we never actually used it between 1984 and 1995 when the MagLev was operating. I only started visiting the airport regularly from about 1998 onwards. Disappointing that I didn't get a chance to use the MagLev.

Fantastic video. Thanks for uploading.
