Passed almost directly overhead but the clouds managed to completely obscure my view.  :(  Caught it as the clouds moved away, but it was long gone by that stage...

I saw it myself actually after hearing an aircraft flying overhead whilst in the house and checking the Plane Finder ap on my mobile. Today the clouds were very low but fast moving, inbetween them I caught the AF A380 flying overhead minus a contrail. Whilst slow moving, it did look quite graceful  :)  Nice to see her in the flesh albeit from several miles away. Aviation never ceases to amaze me!  ;D

Nice one String. The extra reach on your new lens really is useful :)

Far too cloudy, However, the weather is to be good with bright and prolonged spells of sun over the weekend, keep an eye out then and have the camera ready!

Title: Re: A-380
Post by: Slider on February 17, 2012, 09:14:11 PM

No heard it and was out with the camera but no break at all in the clouds, very frustrating. Hope Jakes right and we get a good couple of days ;D
