Chris Bott - Moderator Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 This fully Depron A380 was built in 2005, just as very early lipo batteries were available direct from China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Gilder Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Well, Its been a while but having moved house finally and got sort of sorted out.... I found myself with a few minutes to spare this morning whilst waiting for a delivery of wood to put a floor into my "soon to be" garden workshop! A quick look on FR24 showed that EK017 from Dubai to Manchester was getting close so I grabbed the camera and went outside into the back garden! Fiddlesticks!!! The cloud base was low! Didn't think I would see anything and considering I live right on the approach path, that's POOR!!!! Well, Suddenly from within the floating murk they call clouds came the beast!! Only managed to get 2 half decent shots but in the second one if you look close you can jus make out the U/c doors just starting to open! Hope you enjoy these.. I'm off work for a while now so hope to get a few more better pics!! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
