A380 1st flight looks like next week!

Got this e-mail from Airbus this evening :-

The Airbus team is pleased to include you among the privileged visitors who are offered the possibility to watch the live broadcast of the A380 First flight on Airbus.com.

We would like to inform you that there is a strong possibility that the A380 will fly next week. We cannot give you an exact date and time as maiden flights are subject to many conditions that we cannot control such as weather conditions.

I’ve been invited to watch the 1st flight on the site, sign up and you can too!
Looks like it will be next week then!

Wonder if Airbus can actualy get their web feed working this time. I seem to recall it failed horrendously on the roll-out?

Europe is still an hour ahead of us. During the summer we are an hour ahead of GMT, and Europe is two.

Well that makes sense then.

Never new that daylight savings time would qualify us as GMT+1

GMT+2 ??
Are they in Athens, or perhaps Cairo? 😉

Tolouse is in France, thats GMT+1 or CET (Central European Time)

With DST Athens and Cairo are GMT+3

Summer CET is indeed GMT +2

Makes sense too, seeing as we’re GMT+1 during the summer (i.e. BST).

I don’t think they’ve changed their clocks in France yet – perhaps Hand 87_5 can confirm or deny this? 🙂

Yep daylight saving time…
We are indeed CEt and changed to “summer” time a few weeks ago.
Now we are GMT +2 indeed …..as most of western european countries … 😀 :diablo:
