ExSimGuy,
I was taken aback slightly at DXB show where Emirates obviously had a lot of clout in the presentation of the 380. The great silver RR stickers had been blatantly removed, as EK had sided with the GP variant. But hey - it was powered by trents and many were impressed by the low db levels.(Okay it was very light!) A touch of hypocrisy, I thought!
I'll dig out a photo later.
