I like that "laptop" behind the RHS. The one I bought in 1997 with a 486 processor and a whopping 2 MB of RAM looks pretty much the same.................
btw, are all airbus cockpit doors that narrow, or is it just methinks.... ??

Thanks, Kitsch,
You've provided the new benchmarck for my office. I may have more computers, with bigger monitors, on the desk, but wouldn't I like to have the gazillions to spend on, err, improving them. Then (bulb lights up over hed) if I had the gazillions I wouldn't need all the monitors, etc...

Great photo...
Now I've never flown a Airbus - only flightsim. But it must be bloody hard to go from FO (with RH stick) to the Left hand side and have to use the LH stick!
Edit edit edit .... before you start - I realise that its also possibley the easiest bit!

Wow amazing... Is that an HUD on the PIC seat? 
Also, cup holders, something that looks like a CCTV camera (does that send data to the black boxes?), loads of room and even escape ropes! Look how high up the flight deck is... taxing must be fun!
That tail mounted camera should prove invaluable in diagnosing engine fires too.
What's that device slotted in above both sets of rudders? Is it another pull out display/computer or just a table for meals? Also, what are the grey domes just below the flight computer keyboards?
Chris.d I was thinking exactly the same thing... maybe FOs in an airbus log way more P1 hours than in a Boeing if the Capt. is right handed?

Two questions that someone may be able to answer;
1. When is the A380 due to commence scheduled flights to Heathrow ?
2. Is anyone aware of any A380 test flights that are planned to the USA (or North Atlantic) in the next few months ?
Thanks chaps

Just updating the info about the SQ322 flight on 18th March ...
this is (I seem to remember) an early morning arrival (ie, 5/6am) and a late morning departure, but for this one day only it is expected to arrive at about 3pm and depart later that evening.
