SQ A380 at LHR?

Postby MWISimmer » Mon Nov 12, 2007 2:09 pm

I was driving through Streatham in South london this afternoon and had a very clear view of the incoming traffic to LHR and could have sworn I saw a Singapore Airlines A380. It was too fat to be an A340, the fuselage was too straight for a 744 although I couldn't see how many engines it had as it was too far away (about 6-7 miles).

Anyone got any ideas? I've had a google but couldn't find anything.  

I hope it was the A380, but doubt it as it would have made some news.

It would have been all over the internet for several days beforehand if it was - just like whenever the AN225 appears. :)

It might have been the Singapore A380 you saw, they had the first flight last months. 25 of October

Could have been just a 1 time flight to say "look at us, we have the first jet :P"
