The way it left the runway with such ease suggests that it will be a "huge" success. It may not look right, but it flies right.

Shame the BBC had a big red strip across the bottom of the screen with the words 'Breaking News First Flight of the A380' which blocked half the screen and the bottom of the aircraft.

Superb coverage on Sky

Take off optional, landing mandatory. Can't wait to see it land.
