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!!!
|

|

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.... |
