Regarding the Follow-Me / Ops vehicles.
Birmingham, like most airports hosting Code F (aka Code VI) operations will have trail vehicles during taxi and takeoff. The vehicles help monitor Main Landing Gear to Pavement Edge distances and turning radius, and perform real-time inspection for damaged infrastructure (lights, signage, pavement, etc.) and debris blown onto runway by jet blast. Runway inspection typically not required following landing as only A380 inboard engines have thrust reversers.

Great to see the return of the A380, cheers for sharing your video - always a fantastic an imposing figure of an aeroplane (y) Have been lucky enough to fly several times with Emirates from here back to Hong Kong. Last flight was back in 2018 when I turned left and up a few stair into the upper deck area which had been converted to economy - around 30 seats from memory with dedicated staff just for this section.
