RE: Helicopter Crash In Central London

As a slight aside on this, does anyone know roughly how low airliners on approach to the 27s at <acronym title="London - Heathrow (LHR / EGLL), United Kingdom">LHR</acronym> fly over central London?

RE: BA A380 Crew Training Flights

Wouldn't be surprised if CDG and FRA turn out to be the bulk of BA A380 initial operations. MAD is likely but would certainly not be my first guess. Could actually also see them maybe doing a run or two to MAN if they have the time.
