It departed today at about 12:00L and was the last departure off 24L. It was too big to take the usual route to 24L via Foxtrot so a Follow-Me truck brought it down Alpha and onto 24R via B1. It
backtracked 24R as far as F1/FZ and then taxied to T1 and 24L where it did it's usual 4-minute run-up. It appeared to go virtually the full length of 24L before getting airborne. A hell of an impressive sight, especially making turns with all that undercarriage.
Some pics of it at MAN (check the seat covers in the cockpit shots!):
