I think we all knew deep down that BA would go for a mix of aircraft. Makes good commercial sense to keep the 2 big boys competing. Overall a very sensible and balanced decision.
The A380 is not what you'd call a strunner to look at, but it is a brave design that will serve it's purpose af moving hoards between hubs.
Good also for our lads and gals in Broughton and Derby who will make the wings and engines respectively.
