It was going to fly over Liverpool and then to Fairford in Gloucestershire apparantly. Not very exotic is it really. Bet the pilot was miffed :)

Wow they're in use :) I was following these a lot in the development stages, very interesting some of the trouble they had to overcome. Amazing bit of machinery. Won't be able to cope with Heathrow I don't think, I remember watching the Jumbos there a few years ago and they don't have much room to play with at the end of runway to clear it.

How many doors?
How many windows?

Re: Saw this today at Manchester Airport...
 

A lot and a lot, quite a lot bigger than a jumbo!

Although I hate flying, I do want to save to go on one :)

I've got some video footage of it on me camera too, will try and upload it. We were standing by the crash gate at the end of runway 2 with about 50 other people and the plane was banking left and right so it looked like it was waving as it flew the length of the runway.
