Nice to see LGW were fully prepared for the arrival of the 380.
"Erm, if you wouldn't mind holding there old chap while we go aout and measure the taxiways"
Good to see the airfield management put a great deal of thought and effort into the situation before declaring themselves as suitable for A380 diversions. The fact that the a/c might want to leave the runway and park up on a stand at some point clearly comes as a startling surprise.
Equally, handlers had no idea where to position the steps, and being unable to communicate with the flight deck, had to relay messages via the LGW ground freq. Didn't the crew have the freq for their handling co?
Altogether a slick and impressive operation. Not.
