    Just got a picture (extremely blurred due to the zoom) of it flying over my house in South Wales at 30000ft.
    En-route from Chester to Toulouse.

      That's a shame windsheer, it is a wonderful sight seeing that big bird.

      Just tracking it now heading towards Cherbourg : )

        Hadn't heard of this aircraft until I read your post, but seeing "big bird" caught my eye - so I Goggle'd it. Initially I thought it was a bit ugly but as I read all about it's history and conception I was more intrigued.

        I am a fan of the "big birds" and this is now on my list to watch out for !

        Thanks Responder, for the interesting post.
