I was playing cricket near Stansted yesterday, under the approach. At one point an A380 with a red nose came in to land, I didn't know there were any flying there. A quick google says they were authorised to land there in 2010, does anyone know what the one I saw would have been?

Quite possibly Al-Waleed Bin Talal's private jet. Stansted is the runway of choice for the hyper-rich with very big playthings.
