Hi all
A very busy mound at LPL for some reason yesterday :diablo:
Some of the regular stuff:





then “Airbus 400” calls up on tower:
A bit hit and miss with the sun…. hit when it’s miles out…. miss when it’s on finals :confused:



Anyone know what this is destined to become? (D-AVNO maybe??)

Then she flies off to the Wirral (via Broughton…. who put in a late request for a “buzz”)

I’m still astounded the A380 went to Liverpool! :).
Yes and got out in one piece!!

Cheers… wonder what the “VNO” on the nosewheel is all about
I’ve ‘heard’ it’s the intials of one of the test pilots, whether there’s any truth in that or not I have no idea ;).

Great shots! Great to have it here on Merseyside, albeit briefly.
F-WWDD is destined to become A6-EDQ with Emirates.
Cheers… wonder what the “VNO” on the nosewheel is all about, have to say, i chose visiting LPL over MAN because i thought it would be just awesome at LPL being so much closer on finals than at MAN, and was’nt disappointed, i decided to stay at “the mound” rather than in the field under the lights, but, could hear the gasps of astonishment from the occupants of the field as it glided slowly over. Fabulous!

Yes, bit what is the significance of …VNO on the nose wheel doors, usually that last three of the aircraft’s registration?
