I think you will find that the BAA dont want to look silly if the jetties dont go onto the aircraft ....... they have had a lot of problems with them, and recently all 8 jetties went out of service for repairs!
It's the usual way at Heathrow Terminal 3, get things open before they are finished!

Emirates seem to be dominating the coverage - a massive 4 page advert in the Times today .... on Page 10 in the cockpit section, Page 12-13 is the body/wings and page 15 is the tail.
Commentary is "Today marks one of the most important days in aviation history. The world's largest passenger aircraft arrives at Heathrow". Final bit of commentary is advertising (which is not permitted on these forums).

A380 Visit
I and a huge portion of the NW England spotters would be much obliged if someone in London or Man ATC could give us a heads up re the A380 real time arrival near to Manchester.

Any more news on arrival time at LHR yet?
At the moment 27R is in use and the weather is OK (got a lovely view out of the coffee room view on the the 4th floor of the office in Brentford).
