Never seen one - used to see the Guppies occasionally...
The Beluga is a truly weird craft, but it does a specific job very well and in the wonderful world of AB it fulfils the production jigsaw. I used to live under the flightpath where it came twice a day, every day, so I've seen it more than enough times to be blasé. However anyone visiting me back then would always be gobsmacked and wonder "what the hell is that ?" as it 'sang' (that special engine tone that it and the A300 family share) during it's descent.
