Looks like 27L! Shame about the rain though, should make some interesting reverse thrust shots for those crafty A.netters

I shall be there along with most of the other 36 people in my flight training group!! Should be fun. Can't wait.

I really don't know what we are going to see tomorrow. The wx looks awful but I'd guess we are looking at 27L at 13:13 local.. Given the weather I'm not sure I'll bother.

I think you will find that the BAA dont want to look silly if the jetties dont go onto the aircraft ....... they have had a lot of problems with them, and recently all 8 jetties went out of service for repairs!

It's the usual way at Heathrow Terminal 3, get things open before they are finished! :rolleyes:

Fulham
 
Whats the best guestimate to see it fly over Fulham as I am stuck in the office?

amanoffewwords 18th May 2006 08:30

Emirates are running a huge 4-page advert in The Guardian today - is that a hint that it will be sporting their colours?

PGA 18th May 2006 08:50

Does anybody know if it`ll still fly over or past the suspension bridge in brs today? Have an excellent view from my room..and can`t really be bothered to drive to filton, going to be way too busy!

Taildragger67 18th May 2006 09:16

Also, any ideas as to call sign? Might dust off the scanner (wot my wife gave to me as a present... ) and head out at lunchtime to try to catch a glimpse through the 8 octas...

crewboi83 18th May 2006 09:29

Had heard a rumour that the A380 will be able to be seen from the MAN area, maybe ven overflying man airport can anyone confirm?

Jordan D 18th May 2006 09:31

Emirates seem to be dominating the coverage - a massive 4 page advert in the Times today .... on Page 10 in the cockpit section, Page 12-13 is the body/wings and page 15 is the tail.

Commentary is "Today marks one of the most important days in aviation history. The world's largest passenger aircraft arrives at Heathrow". Final bit of commentary is advertising (which is not permitted on these forums).

A380 Visit
 
I and a huge portion of the NW England spotters would be much obliged if someone in London or Man ATC could give us a heads up re the A380 real time arrival near to Manchester.

Any more news on arrival time at LHR yet?

At the moment 27R is in use and the weather is OK (got a lovely view out of the coffee room view on the the 4th floor of the office in Brentford).
