I've witnessed a few @Airbus "firsts" at @HeathrowAirport over the years, but this is probably the quirkiest - #BelugaXL (aka #A330-700) #avgeeks #Airbus

Love that episode of Sailor where the “crab” (to use my ex-FAA father’s terminology 😂) makes repeated attempts to trap his 809 Bucc on the Ark. Ground crew: “We were getting a bit worried about you, sir.” “YOU were worried about me?”

This is the oldest Airbus in existence. MSN 003 - the first A300B built to standard length (B2) and one of the original test aircraft. It was also used to demonstrate the FBW sidestick controller in mid-1980s, prior to the A320’s first flight

Nowhere to go… 2 of the 3 displaced Emirates A380s parked at LHR awaiting re-opening of Gulf airspace (and DXB): A6-EEU (“Destination Dubai”) and A6-EEC (with Etihad 787 tail-on in background). Also GF 789. I believe a total of 15 EK, EY, KU, QR & GF twin-aisles are parked @ LHR
