Materials and technology have moved SO far since the 747-400 was developed and built. Can you imagine using a PC which was 25 years old?

I've avoided the A380 until now - an image of Titanic always appeared when I thought about it! Anyway I'll be on one on Thursday - if it's VH-OQA I shall smile to myself and have an extra drink.

Did I read somewhere that the first BA A380s will not have First?
