Picture: Emirates A380 sculpture at Heathrow

Emirates Airbus A380 model at Heathrow

Is it me or does this picture of the new A380 statue at Heathrow make the aircraft look like it has had a very bad landing?

Its you,Martin...LoL...not a bad landing!

Just been to the Emirates A380 sight at Heathrow and its just fantastic.I cannot imagine how many LHR users would get to witness this magnificent Aircraft model and is great advertising.

However I also feel,that a bit of British identity has been taken away from London with the removal of concord...but as Emirates cabin staff myself,I feel so proud to have the Aircraft at the entrance of one of the busiest Airports in the world.

George, I haven't seen it myself yet, but am sure it looks amazing.

It's a weird one not having Concorde which was such an iconic aircraft but it is fitting the A380 is there to represent the future of aviation.

Do you work on the A380?

Hey Martin,

No,I don't work on A380 and I also did not want to,considering ultra long sectors.but I certainly will fly the jet as a passenger at my earliest.

I have spoken to my friends on A380 and is said to be an experience!
