Lucky you, Iceland is my favorite place outside the US.

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Strange, must be just another anomaly in the internet.  None of these clips play on my machine, but clips play from other sources.  

The opening commercial or whatever it is plays, then the screen goes black with the red x in the upper left corner.

Thanks for posting anyway.  Must be interesting clip.

Here's another video, a not very good video of an A380 doing very much the same thing in Shannon airport.  Apparently Shannon is renowned for it's crosswinds and Airbus wanted high winds and rain as well which they definitely got.  A week earlier they wanted to fly in when hurricane Gordon was passing through but the aircraft went tech. Isn't it nice to know Ireland like Iceland is noted for it's c**p weather. :huh

Shannon is only an hour and half's drive away. It's a pity my plane spotter friends failed to tip me off. Next time.

Here's a slightly wobbly landing at Heathrow

Thanks, cpxxx, those videos played fine.  A380 fuselage looks somewhat like a slimnastics version of the flying guppy.
