Filton July I would guess; this would fit in with Farnborough.

Hey,
Does anybody know when airbus are planning on bringing the A380 to Heathrow? I heard late April but can't find anything up on their website.
Thanks.

Told by the BAA this morning that A380 expected at LHR T/3 on the 19th May. Any other sources of confirmation?

MAN A380
Was at Manchester today,watching the parents in Law fly out and used it as an excuse to visit the viewing park. Whilst in the Shop an ATCO came in and was speaking to the guy behind the counter and said that the A380 will definately be at Man on 10th June!

GREAT A380 VIDEO
Although I am a regular on PPrune, I don't have any great interest in the civil side of the house. However, I came across a video this evening that was sufficiently interesting to make me want to share it.
I found my way top this thread and thought I'd just check to see if it had been posted before. However, I gave up after Page 27, so please excuse me if it is a repeat, and if someone lets me know I will remove this post.
Right, back to Military Aircrew.
Oh and here's the video:

A380 Being Built in a Few Minutes

looks good - told today that 18th is the day, (after Berlin Air Show), followed by overnight stop & dep next morning.

I can never understand all the "secrecy" that surrounds visits like this one. the word always gets out, and the spotters always turn up. Big deal. within a few months it'll all be old hat anyway.

A little birdie within BAA has forwarded an internal email to me today which states that the A380 is indeed confirmed for a LHR fam visit on May 18th, arrival time is 12 midday...

Now I will have to go and eat my laptop - damn...
