Haven't heard that, i'll dig around and see what i can find out.

Aye, the visit at the end of April has been postponed, dunno when it's due to be in LHR now.
Still planned for Filton in June or July however :ok:

Filton July I would guess; this would fit in with Farnborough.

A-380 in the UK
 

It's due at Filton on 10th June (according to the BBC Ceefax News a couple of weeks ago). :ok:

So, when is it visiting Manchester ? :)

A380 at Heathrow?
 

Hey,
Does anybody know when airbus are planning on bringing the A380 to Heathrow? I heard late April but can't find anything up on their website.
Thanks.:ok:

The date has been circulated to those of us who need to know.

If you have not been told..............


Sir George Cayley

It has also been circulated to us in ATC. Looks like we 'need to know' then!

Has it?

:confused: :confused:

Well when I say circulated, I mean if you ask the guys in ops they will be more than willing to tell you the date and plan for its visit! Paperwork will follow soon, well one would hope so as its due on .....:mad:

Exactly... :} (not you Point7) Would be nice to know a little.

One asked the GM for the date.....

everyone I know seems to have pencilled in 29/30th April ....

AFAIK late April has been cancelled.

A380 at LHR
 

Told by the BAA this morning that A380 expected at LHR T/3 on the 19th May. Any other sources of confirmation?

MAN A380
 

Was at Manchester today,watching the parents in Law fly out and used it as an excuse to visit the viewing park. Whilst in the Shop an ATCO came in and was speaking to the guy behind the counter and said that the A380 will definately be at Man on 10th June!

May 18th in Sunday Times
 

Sunday Times quoted "sources" as saying A380 at Heathrow arriving May 18th.

GREAT A380 VIDEO
 

Although I am a regular on PPrune, I don't have any great interest in the civil side of the house. However, I came across a video this evening that was sufficiently interesting to make me want to share it.
I found my way top this thread and thought I'd just check to see if it had been posted before. However, I gave up after Page 27, so please excuse me if it is a repeat, and if someone lets me know I will remove this post.
Right, back to Military Aircrew.
Oh and here's the video:

looks good - told today that 18th is the day, (after Berlin Air Show), followed by overnight stop & dep next morning.

I can never understand all the "secrecy" that surrounds visits like this one. the word always gets out, and the spotters always turn up. Big deal.:hmm: within a few months it'll all be old hat anyway.

A little birdie within BAA has forwarded an internal email to me today which states that the A380 is indeed confirmed for a LHR fam visit on May 18th, arrival time is 12 midday...

Now I will have to go and eat my laptop - damn...
