I know this sounds pretty unexpected, but strong rumours that the A380 will make an appearance at the Northern Ireland Airshow at Portrush on 5th Sept.

Would be a real coup for Northern Ireland...

tommy,
According to the Bristol Evening newspaper the A380 will land at Filton at 1615 on Saturday afternoon (5th) after its tour of UK airports.
It will remain on the ground before departing for Toulouse at midday on Sunday 6th September.
A380s have been popular amongst the general public on previous visits to Filton so a small crowd might gather to watch this one come in now that it has been given local press publicity.

As it won't be landing at the other airports, or as it appears from comments elsewhere, can't land due to combinations of runway strength limitations, taxiways too narrow and nowhere to park up , other than publicity what exactly is the point of burning all that fuel to go up & down the UK?

Folks, when they say "flyby" is that exactly what it is? One lowlevel flyby and bye bye?
Considering driving up from Dublin to have a look, Portrush would be a bit of a stretch, but could defo do Belfast.
Is it worth my while?
