hi all
was out enjoying the beautiful weather today, and looked up at a large 4 engined aircraft overlfying Loughborough, which is a few miles from NEMA. im not very good at guessing altitudes, but i think it was no more than 15000 ft.
it was unlike any other aircraft i have ever seen – the engines were enormous, the fuselage was thick, fairly stumpy, and was all white, except for the rear fuselage which was blue.
i was with a couple of like minded aviation friends, and we all think it was the A380.
it was around 4:30 and heading roughly in the NEMA direction.
anyone listening to the airwaves or know if the aircraft was in the area today?
have i seen the A380?
any help would be great
thanks
