Does this explain Clarke’s departing “ French Castle “ inspired RR engined splurge of 380’s ?
That order , which happened to keep the Airbus’ 380 production line conviently opened , must have pissed Qantas’ wee one off no end !
Due , no doubt to the lack of access to an end of production clause for the remaining White Elephants that Qantas are stuck with !
Of course this is purely fanciful rumour mongering speculation .
Or is it ?
Recently flew EKs oldest 380 to Oz and the third eldest one back to the sand. So they don't seem to be parked .
