Inbound - A380 **UPDATE - WOW !**

[Ian the Kiwi Herder]

One of those big A380 thingz will be shooting a 'missed approach' at Manchester tomorrow (Sat) @1320 local, then it wanders over to LJLA to do the same at 1325 (ish) followed by a huge left turn to make a couple of passes over the Wirral Show.

I'm at work tomorrow - unless of course Baby-Gatherer arrives in the meantime - I'm not intending to take any photos, y'all will just have to put-up-with a word picture. I do have a whole bunch of pics of P-51's, Yak's & Fw190's in Germany last year, Some grey things I took with our NEV in the spring, and a really nice mixed bag of goodies seen at the Northolt photo day last month.

Will hopefully get some these up here next week.

Edit: Sat 12th @ 1400
I have NEVER seen anything like it !! Lost count of the number of passes this thing made so slow that only a computer-aided FBW system could cope. Standing on it's wingtip for each turn at less than 150kts @ 1500ft. And so quiet.... Flying tail down, along the seafront (Think Eff-teen series doing a low & slow airshow pass), holding it for two-and-a-half miles then gracefully dipping a wing to pick-up speed and climbing again to a wing-over.... just incredible.

What a (free) show !
