A380 flew over LPL at 1025Z then on to Broughton for two low fly pasts.

What a beast even at approx 5000ft.
White body with blue fin

Now on way to Filton

Good old Bristol weather spoils the day yet again!

Edited to say: That is one pig ugly plane!

Wycombe 18th May 2006 11:34

On 134.75 at FL100 on L9, going outside for a look!

Edit: too much cloud to see anything :-(

Filton fly-by
 
I have to disgree with Smellster, the Brizzle weather held off until after the final approach, hopefully I got some good pics.

Two impressions :

How something so big can be so gracefull;

How quiet it was.

Well worth the drenching walking back to the coalface.

Phil.

One is stuck at home (under Biggin stack) due ill-health - please would someone advise of callsign and current frequency please? I have registered for BAA webcast but that won't start until 1300 BST.

Thanks in advance :ok:

Not the best looking beast in the skies but surely impressive and very quiet too. Disappionted that after the first flypast at Filton..trotted off back to work to find another approach and a few more orbits took place as I was going back to the car. ..off to the Heathrow Web cam now...

On 127.525. Will be leaving OCK, flying over LL for a right-hand pattern. Wanting to descend to 3A soon after leaving the hold so may get a good view of it over LL (well maybe not with all the cloud!)
