You asked me that before and said you'd never heard of them

Manage the Export dept for an Express Air freight Co, high end pharmaceuticals and clinical trial material, blood/urine samples with hiv/hepatitis/ebola + other nasties, DGR/AVI/Rad-Ac etc etc and loads of temperature controlled pharms, currently setting up 3 Unicoolers (thats a good piece of kit) as we speak, it's amazing the lengths these pharma co's go to shift a 6 Kg box of drugs at +5oC, renting an RKN for it they can afford it though !

Bang on the flight path of the northern runway at LHR, just on the otherside of the M25, so it's pretty damn noisy!

Oi! I'll have you know that all operations are within the required noise limits and departure routes!

Have a play with this:

Heathrow WebTrak

Doesn't work for all , but you can change the first three letters to the airport of your choice.

As it happens, I'll be in Manchester tomorrow and I'd like to see this. Any ideas of which way it will approach and take off?

A long time ago I used to watch planes landing from Shadowmoss Rd, where you could get really close. I know there are lots of parking restrictions now, but I don't mind a bit of a walk. Will there be better places?

I saw it, impressive but I still prefer seeing a 747 as its a more interesting and graceful shape, the a380 was very very quiet and an amazing feat of engineering.
