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!!! :E :E
Still at OCK I presume - haven't heard frequency change from 127.525 :ok: |

BBC webcast just started. wx looks a bit murky but video is clear.
|
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!
|
heathrow webcast is broke by the looks of it,but here she comes,gear down,lights on!!!!! its looking pretty windy up there!!!
|
Just saw it pass south of the City of London, very graceful.
|
She just came over Brentford. Impressive bird.
|
TOUCHDOWN!!!

Shame that the BAA 'cast dropped out ... Sky had some good pics but silly announcer said "oh it has a lower deck" :mad: and now they are giving airtime to Friends of the Earth who is anti-A380 without producing any stats :mad:
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! :E :E |
Saw it passing Richmond. Very impressive, and significantly quieter than the 744 that preceded it. It's very windy here.
|
That is one big momma!
Just watched it on finals from West Ealing could make it out even from here! :D |
All I've seen on my Windows Media Player was pure and unadulterated pitch black.............Lovely.....so f@$%ing lovely!!!
|
Anyone having trouble watching the baa webcast, its also on the bbc website too.
|
Ditto:mad: :mad:
|
Same here Heathrow coverage on Windows media player non existant and BBC bandwidth not good enough...Bollix!

Saw the a/c descending over Hendon. Can't believe that in the ime it took me to walk half a mile, they have come from Filton! :)
|
Think what its like for those in Airbus with no TV and at its home base:uhoh:
|
Right. Back to work.
|
No, going home to watch it on Sky TV.:bored:
|
Here's a couple of shots I took at Hawarden. Hope everyone enjoyed the sight of me landing a Cessna about 20 minutes before the A380 arrived :ok:

Watched it from Notting Hill, looked very good, very graceful as said previously. I thought she was a bit nose high though. As also said earlier, how small was the chase 'plane in comparison! Some of the people I was with couldn't even spot the Corvette!

While it doesn't redress the failure of BAA to successfully webcast the arrival of FDD, it IS possible to send an email to the BAA media centre - there is a link at the top of the screen where you logged in for the webcast.
Moving on ... FDD will undertake airport-trials today and leave at crack of sparrows tomorrow. Anyone know which frequencies she will be using for departure? One is likely to be hound-walking at dark o'clock and one might, perhaps, carry one's wee receiver :E :E |
So the A380 has touched down on British soil for the first time
Congratulations to everyone involved in the A380 project and i wish you all the very best luck in the future, well done :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D |
This is a question more suited to Jetblast, but brock, what exactly IS a wee receiver? Is it a little bottle? :}
|
Sky News showing the interior now - a few seats, but mostly it's unfitted, not even wall coverings. Some ballast tanks or something upstairs.
|
Panda - nah 'tis the ICOM IC-R10 purchased when wanting to learn ATC-speak when doing a PPL at a radio-service-only airstrip many moons ago! E: :E
|
Nice pix
Nice pictures Squadgy!
:E Re: Ballast tanks Contains chemicals for the chemtrails! :E Seriously, I noticed on the lower deck they had an instrumentation station setup in the back. I guess that's for gathering performance data.... |
anyone know what time shes scheduled to take off ?
