Seen it in the air around Toulouse once, great sight. I just happened to look in the right direction out of the car window. I think they can get a whole 320 fuselage inside it.

Yeah,
I live just outside Mold and this goes around once in awhile right over the house.
It sometimes looks like it's hovering, (because of it's size I suppose). You should go down to Hawarden and see it take of - awesome.

If its flying to broughton then its probably carrying wings, a320/a340, as the airbus factory there make predominently wings.
Managed to get on a factory tour there a few years back. Amazing place, the A380 wing factory was huge!

I've been onto the Airbus site at Broughton a few times - where I visit is maybe 200 metres from the runway. One time it was being loaded with wings (that's an art on it's own) and then took off. Fantastic sight.
