I was beyond thrilled to round a corner at the BA Open Day, Heathrow and be faced with A380, F-WWDD. The nose gear door markings VNO are, I imagine, spurious as this is a test aircraft and unlikely to be delivered to one of the customers whose insignia are proudly emblazoned on its side. From the opposite end of the Airbus scale, A318 G-EUNA was also attracting crowds.

No longer flying but still an overwhelming presence in the aviation world as well as a deeply moving memory for those of us who knew Concorde in service. G-BOAB at the BA Open Day, Heathrow.

Could any aircraft image be more elegant than the nose of Concorde G-BOAB?
