Am I the only one who is going to admit to really enjoying the wingwalkers and A380?!

Nope, nice bit of humour with the wingwalkers doing a bit of "your exits here, here and here" type motions on take off.
I still find the A380 astounding it, ever after seeing it many times.

Didn't queue to get on the Connie but was invited on board the Percival Pembroke - which was really nice.

I was one of those annoying chaps sitting in the golf carts facing the crowd line, one of my breaks co-Incided with me being next to the Ba Airbus, so went on board for a look around.
It was one of two A318's that BA have configured entirely first class and is used on the London City - New York route.
Damn thing was tiny inside.

The Farnborough example was in Yellowjacks livery.

What did I see this afternoon, about 1340hrs? Something massive with a high mounted tailplane, heading broadly east, it appeared to be in the circuit to land on runway 24. IL-76? Is it here to collect stuff that was on exhibit?

yes, assuming it was the same aircraft, it delivered the Turkish attack helicopter the week before the show.

Was it the same one that dropped the chopper off?

By the way, I live just around the corner from Giffard Drive

It was planned to be Eric, so imagine it was, unless of course the original aircraft went tech.
