A380 at EGKK today?
Yep stand 51, just back from there. We were all on top of Pier 6 for the arrival and our fire bobbies did a water arch - with non potable water of course.
It does look to be flying slowly on finals .. due to the size.

Missed a trick here. Flew on the first SQ A380 out of London and the first EK A380 out of Birmingham (to celebrate the 75th anniv. of the airport), but missed the first A380 out of Manchester as I was overseas at the time. I know the A380 has landed at Gatwick before but that was unscheduled diversions from LHR, but has it had a scheduled arrival and departure before today?

thanks for the info. So is the A380 going to become more of a regular visitor to Gatwick or is it just a one off with EK continuing to use its 777 fleet? Apparently it can't fit under the air bridge
