1:52:00 I was waiting for you to mention HAM. I'm lucky enough to be a regular visitor to Hamburg and not only do you see the Belugas regularly, you're treated to countless 'undercoat green' freshly assembled aircraft taking off and landing at Airbus' assembly airport by the docks. In fact, such marvels are so regular that my little nephews there are as blasé about it as only ten year olds can be!
Darn…I slept through my notification this morning!!! Thank you Jerry, Gilly for covering this for us sleepyheads that just can’t wake up on time!!! You two are the best…watching replay! 🇨🇦✈️👍
Working at Airbus Broughton I see the beluga daily and it still amazes me how elegant it is. Such a great moment for the people of LHR to see it up close and personal
I am watching you now from West Virginia in the United States Nd I want to see the Beluga live its a rare opportunity for me to see this unique airplane and y am really excited to see this event!!!
Sheer coincidence. While I was on holiday in France last week, I saw one of the other Beluga XL aircraft flying near Saint Nazaire, I knew what it was immediately :)
I had no interest in planes at all until I watched, I think, Mentour on TH-cam, since when I've been hooked. The sheer majesty of these huge machines and the organisation and calculation that has to go in to just flying a bunch of tourists or cargo in and out - it's fantastic. My only claim to fame - knew Brian Trubshaw when I was a child and remember the time he wrecked the neighbour's hay tedder when he failed to fix it to the tractor properly. Was he ever allowed to forget it? No.
A BA source has said that an Airbus team was already onsite for the repairs. These will include structural repairs to the tail cone and APU area - so the parts delivered may be more than a simple stabiliser/elevator unit. And the work will take approximately two weeks.
Usually larger aircraft such as A 380 B747 Beluga Antonov 124 are towed in close proximity to prevent any collision with obstacles. They won't drive, steer the big ones.
17.08. That’s us arriving back home from Jamaica on G-VNEW….unfortunately when we landed and got the stand someone passed away and had to wait on plane for an hour. RIP TO THAT PERSON. Luckily we managed to get off in time to get the luggage and get round to the hanger and got a picture aswell through the gate…and managed to see it land so it was ace
I was on the A350 landing from YYZ at 10:01am BST @46:00. You can see the wings waving back and forth as the pilot appeared to be battling the gusty winds. Poor kid a couple of rows in front of me wasn’t able to hold onto his lunch.
It's like one of those blow-up planes you'd have as a kid, but daddy's overinflated it. 'Naughty daddy', says bulgey beluga, grinning broadly to himself and winking at all the children, laughing and waving on the apron. Never had they ever expected to see such an aeorodynamically improbable aircraft alighting before their very eyes, and the fact it was a flying fish made it five times funnier!
in the head-on footage if you squint and actually see her as a whale with that big mouth it is a remarkable sight and experience, it seems so obvious now but that whale detailing was an absolute stroke of genius - I think she is a beautiful machine, I know she's an oddity but the aerodynamics are so obvious its remarkable. Your explanation of the enlarged and additional vertical stabs as being because of the physical structure being "in the way' of the airflow over them is over-simplified and not accurate - the stabilization is necessary because of the disrupted airflow not blanked airflow - iof you look at the 747 shuttle carrier she has endplate fins too and there is no structure blanking airflow even when the shuttle is attached, its because of turbulent flow caused by the bulbous structure ahead of the stabilizers and it helps with stability particularly at lower speeds - this applies to any aircraft with a bulbous structure - in the PC9 they enlarged the canopy and as a result had to add an additional fillet to the vertical stab root - you then mention her drag coefficient and again bring up the endplate fins but they have nothing to do with mitigating the drag as you suggest.
Thanks for the info. TBH that’s what I meant, as in. ‘Disrupted’ airflow rather than blocked, probably, as you say, the incorrect word used, but the same outcome 🤔
"So that's what we're gonna do. Any questions? Oh, I forgot: Who's the guy that crashed into the plane in April? OK, you're not going near that thing mate."
I have now done a bit of , late , research. It’s quite a thing. I had never seen it before, didn’t know anything about it , obvs. Amazing plane, as are all the other working , not holiday , planes. Amazing.!!!!

@@aviationin4k258 thanks for the video excellent,- I've got the app for watching Aircraft, like flightradar 24 --Excelent app
Thank you for saving our time.
☺️👍🏾
Thanks guys
As far as ugly planes go, the Beluga is a beauty! Thanks for the coverage 👍
That was sooo good, fantastic. Thank you Jerry and Gilly for these additional shows, looking forward to the afternoon departure. 😊
Beverley George!!! You’re amazing…following your lead!

@@7BJDX I live in Chester and I never tire of seeing them flying low over my home - especially coming in to land. A fabulous sight.
Just watched the show, fabulous, love the Beluga, thankyou both so much for bringing it to us 🌈🥰
I am watching you now from West Virginia in the United States Nd I want to see the Beluga live its a rare opportunity for me to see this unique airplane and y am really excited to see this event!!!
Top work...very enjoyable. Thanks Jerry and Gilly as always.
That coverage was sensational! 🤗🐋🐳
I just happened to randomly catch this video this afternoon. Thanks.
Fantastic show! Thanks Jerry and Gilly
I'm glad they parked it there actually. As jerry said the police and security were worried about crowding. Good job lads :)
Great for you to see the beluga down south we see it flying over liverpool regularly still great to see it anytime 😊
beluga st flys over my house. managed to catch a glimpse of it when i was a little younger. definitely a plane i dream of flying one day
Interesting to see this unique a/c. Thanks for covering it.
Brilliant coverage, well done and thanks
Great catch. Something we don't see everyday in LHR.
Fascinating and well filmed thank you :)
Interesting to see all the airport workers and service cars watching the arrival.
The fact that everyone including the pilots probably stopped and looked at the incredible aircraft ❤ wow 🤩
Great, many thanks. I am a Londoner now living 8,500 FASL in Andes. As a kid I used to ride my bicycle out to Northolt and Heathrow airports.
Watching a 747 land at Heathrow never gets old :) it just seems to hang in the air. Hope you're enjoying your new home mate.
you work really hard for your content mate.. god bless you
The Beluga looks like a happy Dolphin 😊
There's a bit at 1:48:25 where it sounded like a dolphin or whale sound. I'm wondering if that was deliberate! :D Great video!
Dat was a boydy
Well done Gerry and Gilly, great catch. So funny to see all the “yellow jackets” trying to get a photo of it, when they should be working 😊😂
I was watching the livrestream instead working.
Sorry boss :D
Off to LHR today! This video sets up the mood!
Great coverage
Thanks

excellent, what's not to love
I am lucky, I live about 4 miles from Hawarden where this plane comes in most weeks.
Yeap….. and I was one of them Yellow Jackets 👋😂

What a beauty
We all had a whale of a time today!🐳

Those engines look too small.Amazing engineering effort.
2:18:25 No probs mate, just get yur drone up and whizz on over there!
Imagine that eventually becoming a commercial airline!
Beluga!
WHAT?? if only i didnt go to school today. I can see the planes landing for heathrow close to me so i woulve had a perfect shot of it
So the wings are made in Wales and transported by Belugas?
Not surprised it needs those outboard rudder surfaces. The main vertical stab gets nothing being hidden by that happen at that approach angle.
Late to the game but just heard you say your dad worked for IAS so did mine, he was a flight engineer.
Really SHOW and Presenter Both are SUPERB🎉🎉🎉
Looks like a flying dolphin
I heard they put this stream on the big screen at Airport Centre.
Ahhh super stuff guys just watched back bloody forgot all good 👍

See tgis plane every week comes low over our house on its landing at hawarden
I wonder how much lift the fuselage contributes…???
How old is that hanger ?
Imagine flying that badboy
Notice how the Beluga's left eye is winking.
1:49:00 butter landing
2:07:01 Air India a350 new livery
What's that about then? Any idea about the "Vista" design on the tail?
What time does it depart out of LHR
How does all that fuel needed fit into those skinny wings?
What runway will it be taking off from this evening and which direction? I’m gonna go try see it
and what time will it leave?
@@iankemp2638 I’m pretty sure it will leave around 5:30pm BST
@@RomeoZoneX
Yep. Someone else says that to. Thanks.
Does anyone know if it’s possible to see it depart later today? If so, what is the best viewing location?
3.18 mate it's a lot bigger than that what's being replaced.
is Singapore Airlines using beluga for passenger service?
yeah they are planning a giant first class lounge area with swimming pool
I'm surprised that the beluga one engine on each wing and the a380 has two on each wing.
Beluga reg is F-GXLO isn't it?
Thank you Virgin Atlantic for making this possible 😜
Why was the beluga at Heathrow?
What time will it leave?
17:20 scheduled
Many thanks@@Gazzasfifavids
It’s not a small issue 😂 The whole horizontal stabiliser is being replaced.
Thank you for clarifying that. I was wondering why they would fly it in for a piece 3-4 feet long!
Is that what they used to call Guppy back years ago or am I going mad..?
Historical moment
01:48:42
Only two engines for such a large plane ?
I want to be a pilot on the beluga
"So that's what we're gonna do. Any questions? Oh, I forgot: Who's the guy that crashed into the plane in April? OK, you're not going near that thing mate."
Why was this beautiful beast visiting LHR ?
Is there only one Beluga ?
Where can I go to see a view like that
Chester
But like where can I go on Heathrow to see it take off in 1h
The Beluga XL is a flying bottle nose dolphin.
You serious!????
I now know I’m going mad!!!
I have now done a bit of , late , research. It’s quite a thing.
I had never seen it before, didn’t know anything about it , obvs. Amazing plane, as are all the other working , not holiday , planes.
Amazing.!!!!
I now subscribe how do I get to comment?
You'll be able to chat when we go live again for the departure th-cam.com/users/liveddGsdGJxvJ8? and welcome!
I was at school😢
Her???
C'mon, get on with it!
hello
It's obvious ,but nothing looks more like a Beluga than that,not even an actual Beluga 😂
BELUGA DELAYED FOR 1 ONE HOUR!!!
Look's Like a WHALE ?
Well you can see how it gets its name, but it’s quite an ugly monster, is it not?
Hells Bells - That is one ugly looking aircraft.
Where I live I see them often..... Good eh?
A new page in the history book, not only LHR , but for BJTV. Well done, Jerry and Gilly top draw 🛬🛬
