Airbus A380

[Guest]

Does anyone know if the Airbus A380 has done any flight trials over the UK? The reason for asking , ive just finished spraying the bucc and was taking it to its drying point (Living room ) when i looked out of the window and saw a large 4 engined jet flying SE .I got the binocs on it and it wasnt a A340 or a 747 or one of the KC -135s. It had some sort of logo on the tail but i couldnt make it out.

I heard somewhere that it was doing cold weather trials in Alaska or Greenland but dont know details,

[Guest]

I doubt whether it was the A.380 Pogo as it is away on trials at the moment.

Must get eyes tested. Maybe it was Aurora!!!!!It was big and it wasnt a Beluga.Def 4 engines and no lump on top.

[Guest]

lol, i think you would know if it was an aurora!...quite a distinctive shape!!! plus why would an aurora be flying that low?....unless you live near an airfield???

[Guest]

20 or so miles from Manchester airport. We have a hill about 1 1/2 miles away .If you stand on the top and look south you can see the Radio Telescope at Jodrell bank. Still cant get Channel five though.

[Guest]

lol.

but why would aurora land and manchester city airport?

as iv said before i live about 3 miles away from stanted airport. although we do get the occasional fighter go over (about 1 every 2 years) on their way to mildenhall apparently. last ones i saw were about 5 years ago, 2 f-15, low and fast!!!!

....not as low as the raf though

[Guest]
