Cool
Hee Hee the BAA webcast has been "open-mic" for about 5mins - loads of background chatter, who will introduce what etc etc and they haven't realised!!!

Still at OCK I presume - haven't heard frequency change from 127.525

Only did one more missed approach but that was in the middle of a torrential downpour so not much to see. I think the chase plane gave up trying to get some good footage over the Clifton suspension bridge after the second attempt due weather.

A380 at Broughton
Just got home from EGNR having watched 2 wonderful low passes; one clean and one dirty. It is a magnificent aircraft; such a beautiful sight, so big but wonderfully in proportion and so quiet! Can't wait to fly in it!

Losers. Do they not have anyone watching it and telling them they've lost picture? Incredible.

It didn't need much runway to stop in, did it! Must be because it is flying empty?

Cool
Shame that the BAA 'cast dropped out ... Sky had some good pics but silly announcer said "oh it has a lower deck" and now they are giving airtime to Friends of the Earth who is anti-A380 without producing any stats

Have to say she is very beautiful - the views from above/behind show just how graceful is the wing alignment... Union Flag out of the window at mo and .. darn they are good at following a centre line!
