    It is. When the Airbus A380 made its first flight into Heathrow the pilot's name was... ED STRONGMAN.

    Love Rarotonga and the Cook Islands. Lovely people and yes, an interesting landing!

    Thought of that, could be. Thought it might be a delivery flight but the plane is 2yrs 6 mth old, I did look at the maximum range with just fuel & still well short. Wonder if it stopped off a Reykjavik to refuel.

    Don’t forget the Max8 got grounded for a considerable time so could be new to Ryanair
