    Hi all I have a mate who lives in the USA and he told me this

    (Today I got a message from the Yahoo! LHR newsgroup (to which I belong), saying that the A380 is expected to come to LHR 29 & 30 April (Sat. & Sun.).

    They said that the BAA and LHR Visitors Centre told them the A380 is coming that weekend, and that BAA “would be laying something on for the enthusiasts” at the Visitors Centre. I wonder what it will be?

    If this is true, I definitely plan to be out at LHR (armed with my camera) to see the A380!

    Have you heard anything about this?)

    he also posted it on airliners.net
    Has anyone else heard about this?

    i think maybe they should have adevertised or fly from an airport where they were needed like SOU or somthing

    They did advertised but it was too late,why SOU when you have Flybe

    EUjet had too many routes when they started they had 21 routes and 18 when they went bankrupt.and the only routes that where 50-100% full where the routes i went on Dublin, Edinburgh, Amsterdam ,Alicante,Malaga,Faro.The others route i don’t know about.

    I dont think the RAF operate any at all anymore,

    I think they operate two at Boscombe Down but they are operated by QinetiQ/ETPS.

    Here is a recent shot of an Andover at Boscombe Down http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0997286/L/

    Hi all from the (London Manston yahoo groups) Jeremy posted this

    I’ve done some research on these flights. They bring a whole new
    meaning to the word “daytime”.

    LTE428 BCN 13:15 – 15:15 MSE
    LTE459 MSE 16:15 – 19:15 FAO
    LTE458 FAO 20:15 – 22:55 MSE
    LTE429 MSE 23:55 – 03:10 BCN

    Very interesting to see the post-23:00 departure. Challenging times
    ahead!

    so it looks like it will be LTE.

    I believe Seguro uses LTE for its PIK flights as well

    Seguro indeed do use LTE at are sister airport Prestwick.

    Surprising news!

    I think EUJet were too rash with the starting and dropping of routes, which just didn’t suit the area, but I definitly could see these working, and hope they do.

    Yes that is so true EUjet had too many routes when they started they had 21 routes and 18 when they went bankrupt.and the only routes that where 50-100% full where Dublin, Edinburgh, Amsterdam ,Alicante,Malaga,Faro and there where some others but I can’t remember them

    Anyone know if they are definitly operaing LTE A320s?

    Where did you found that out
