If MS ever make anything that does not suck it will be a> Vacuum cleaner



In nature, nothing is ever right. Therefore, if everything is going right... something is wrong.

My bad, sorry i meant i was watching it live on BBC...Sorry Ian.

I watched it land and taxi round the runway, and it dwarfed everything else out there.

Although, I would have loved to see it 'in the flesh' so to speak.

A friend who works in the cargo areas near Heathrow said that the plane looked massive, nearly as big or bigger than the heavylift areoflot cargo planes.

The news footage & flight simulator were both good, how long before it makes it on to the MS flight sims?

I was driving past Heathrow just prior to the landing - there were hundreds of people abandoning their cars around the perimeter road and A30 to watch - caused mayhem

Unfortunately due to work I couldn't stop to watch

It won't let me watch
BBC News broadband video only for international viewers for a subscription fee.
When did this start?
I watched their broadcasts about the bombings last year
(John's eldest was in London at the time.)
& I'm sure I've seen clips of theirs since.
