Haven't seen her on the runway yet at Toulouse airport, but she might have been when I wasn't around... but I'll keep a closer eye on that in the coming days.

The front page of La Dépeche du Midi yesterday (Toulouse's local newspaper) had its main headline saying "Toulouse. Le premier vol prévu aux alentours du 11 avril. A380: décollage dans l'air"... basically, first flight expected 'around' April 11th.

Those familiar with the vaguaries of the french language will realise that this means 'we are not sure' but here is a good guess..... Similar phrases can be heard when trying to have a rendezvous for a plumber.

And so far I have only seen her move very slooooowly.

When it does fly, I should find out quite quick as I live just under their main certification flight route.

Yep, that's definitely a spot-on interpretation of the French used Ionagh...
