Just not the same as the old pointy one, but I do have to admit the BA paint job does make the big bird look much better, surprising what can be done with a bit of makeup.

Always though that BA colours brought the best out in an aircraft.

Still do!

I'll add in mine too.
Annoyingly I pretty much missed the first pass, so was very thankful they came back again!

Great photos aside from the first one looks like the A380 has a minor engine issue on the RHW which would make Boeing happy yes

However, it's just a good photo and it doesn't which makes me happy biggrin

I love the 380 and rearrange my plans to ensure I fly on one when I can yes

Didn't manage to go to RIAT but it looks like you guys had a great weekend!

Its the single Red Arrow that is pumping out the smoke.

At first glance it does look as though the 380's engine is fked but it isnt!! Just looks that way.

A380 looks huge approaching Manchester, but small approaching Heathrow.

Must be something in the air...smile
