Airbus A380

[Guest]

Pogo,

Sure you didn't see one of the big Airbus Belugas going over, they regularly fly over your way into BAE at Broughton where the A380 Wings are made and they carry Airbus parts back out to France from there...including the wings for the smaller Airbus Aircraft...they are a common sight over your way, I live in North Wales and see them coming in quite often when I drive towards Chester.

I know the A380 is scheduled for a visit to Broughton soon but cannot remember when....it will no doubt be in the local papers when it is due in, so I will keep you posted as it is big news around here.

Regards........Mark.

I fly in and out of Manchester about half a dozen times a year. It is a perfect size in so far as it has all the facilities of a big airport yet it has the convenience of a smaller one.

Plus it has a Concorde on display that I will get around to having a look at one day.

Not a beluga This had 4 Engines. Manchester in the late 70s early 80s was a great place.At the end of runway 06 was an old brick works.It was demolished and a big mound of rubble was left. Of course spotters took advantage of this and some superb pics could be had. I have some really good photos from up there.
