| Airbus A380 'Superjumbo' photos are released
Quote:
Photographs of the first full-sized version of the giant new Airbus A380 airliner have been released.
The pictures show a pre-production model of the aeroplane being moved to a new hangar in France. Final versions will carry 555 people.
The A380 is being assembled at Airbus's base in Toulouse, but its wings are being made at sites in Bristol and Broughton, North Wales.
The aircraft pictured will be used in tests due to begin next year.
