Thought you might enjoy these 3 shots from Farnborough. I do have many more, but I have had an extremely busy week and will continue to be busy for the next few days.

So here goes, with 1 of the A380 and 2 of the A346. All of them showing how close I managed to get to the runway, it was quite a rush getting so close to such huge airliners. Maybe I’ll get round to posting some more one day!

Thanks everyone! I have to agree about the A346, it did feel huge when stood so close. The most impressive thing about the A380 was it’s height, but it’s not something that you immediately notice.

Now it’s off to the airport to catch my AB flight to BHD…. 🙂

I love the last one in particular. I think, as Futurepilot does, that the 346 is more beautiful than the A380 :).

Maybe it’s just me but I find the A346 a much more impressive aircraft up close than the A380, great shots Dan :D.
