I would be surprised if it leaves at 1400 as it is well behind schedule. If anyone gets a revised departure time please post!!

Also it is apparently due back Tuesday for a Wednesday departure.

It must have left just before 3. Unfortunately I got no heads up it was leaving until I heard heard the whine of the engines as it banked over the house. I was hoping to get a few photo's of it as it was banking round.

Here is a selection of the photos I got.
Well worth the flight from Southampton to hear and see this beast of an aircraft!

I also got some video, this was mainly so I could have my own recording of the sound, if you are wondering why i did not track it as it lands its because I had decided to concentrate more on getting photos during landing and video the take off, but I still wanted some footage of the landing so I had my compact camera on a tripod but i can't pan and take photos with another camera at the same time!
