Can anybody tell me if this was at east midlands today? (28/04/09). I was heading north on the M1 at about 10-05 local time and saw what I believe to be an A380 take off from runway 27. If it wasn't can anybody tell me what it was?? Thanks.

It sounds like a boeing 777-200LR

[8ballbum]

You know, thats exactly what I was thinking.

Great minds think alike. ;)

@alaqmar1992 It has Trent 900 engines, and the 777 has 800, so very similar sounding :)

@alaqmar1992

[oOFrank27Oo]

@ChrisEddie1401 Ha Ha Ha No but it really sounds like a 777.

[AnonymousIs9001]

[RejectedRoadKill]

Except a lot lot quieter!

[mogofou]

we can hear that, no doubt, it was one of the primal aim of this aircraft

the a380 made a pass not a go-around, it routed over derby (rolls royce factory) to celebrate and thanks them for the sucess. Then made a pass @ egnx. nice video. its a shame it wasnt in Airbus livery, looks s..t all white. :-)

[cjracer1000]

then why were the gear down

[janadal86]

Or else the crew would hear all kinds of GPWS warnings going off i guess.

[cjracer1000]

[kpt4roger]

BORING!!

[fm025523]

yeah i think it was a test, needed for certification. A new plane must pass several safety tests before going into full production

[fm025523]

Yeah i think it was a test for cerfitication

[rileinc]
