We all missed the A380 here in Vauxhall but have just seen the Da Vinci
train but there again it is just a train.

I think that the plane must have been far more interesting.

Couldn't miss it here in Richmond - quiet it is NOT, despite the claims.

Stood underneath it as it came in at Heathrow - must have been around 100
people there for it (just where I was)

It seemed to do quite a bit of rolling and pitching, from the
BBC web-clip. Was it exceptioonally windy?

Have you been out of doors today?

It is rather gusty. It strikes me you are but 4.5 miles from Heathrow,
so weather conditions can't be too different.

Where have you been today? We've had the sort of gales you normally only
see in the autumn all day.

According to BBC News just now, yes, there were rather bad cross-winds.
It's also blowing a gale here... it was rather difficult to keep my
(high-sided) car in a straight line earlier on.

Interesting, that's the first adverse comment on its noise that I've
seen. Most people have said how quiet it was, relative to its size I
assume. (Personally, I was too busy taking photos to notice.) How did
it compare with the two British Airways 747s that used the same runway
in the previous 20 minutes?
