Quite a few points of interest in this photo, taken from bmi 319 G-DBCC operating BD005 as we lift off rw27R for Glasgow. Note the number of 380 gates being constructed at the T5C satellite, one of which is already in use by a 772. The extra width neccessary to accommodate a 380 is evident when comparing the 380 stand beside the 744/346/777 stand occupied by the Qatari Airbus. Note also the Qatari, Brunei and UAE Govt. aircraft parked up on the South Cargo aprons.
