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.

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.
