Hi all,
So used to posting Bristol movements!!! I have been away with work lately so I decided to chill out and head off to Toulouse for a few days with my camera and a google earth picture kindly sent to me by Stephanie (Thank you). I flew done on Wednesday evening and came back last night. Must admit I didn’t know what to expect considering it is very difficult to find out what is testing at Airbus but I wasn’t disappointed. Having only seen the A380 on the telly or in A.net, my aim was to at least glimpse the beast, again I wasn’t disappointed having flown back to Bristol last night with a big grin on my face having seen 3 flying A380’s all bouncing on and off the runways at TLS. Here’s some (a lot of) pics, I hope you enjoy them as much a I enjoyed the thrill of taking them. Aplogies for the various sizes and they are in no order.
You can’t hide from me!

i can’t wait to see one of these myself, i might then be able to grasp the sheer size of it.

Cant wait to see these birds at LHR on a regular basis :D:D Nice shots there Si 😀
Is it only VS that will fly the A380 into LHR?

Nice one, Si…. That beats the Flybe E-195 😉
Must have been impressive to see multiple Super-Jumbos flying.

Sam, on the first day 2 went off within 30 mins of each other and came back a few hours later to do touch and goes. The overall white one went off again in the afternoon and did touch and goes for a hour. The second day I saw the 2 full house coloured jets take off and not come back until mid afternoon. What a sight seeing 2 A380’s in the circuit!

Fantastic shots! 🙂 Was it busy or was the 380’s out for the most of the day?
