I got my first sight of the 380 today at LHR. I have to say it wasn't as impressive as I expected. Sure it looked larger than the 747 parked next door but the difference wasn't that great. What really made it apart were the full length double row of windows. Now when the stretched version appears I will be impressed!
The only thing I didn't like about its appearance was the the nose profile fwd of the w/screens.
If God had meant us to fly, he would have given us tickets.
Thanks. Sorry about the third one, it was taken from the road over the cargo tunnel where the BAA don't like cars stopping, so it was just a quick snap
Let's face it the BAA don't like camaeras airside full stop.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the A300, A310, A330 and A340 all share exactly the same nose (and fuselage section) on the basis of even the A340 being originally the A300B11 or something like that. :think:
Could be right there, Toby. But there is something about the A340...those unlikely slender wings carrying four engines..can't put my finger on it but she is lovely to look at.
