I hope it has moving walkways or a taxi or summat

Cheers

Nice one! Wonder if it will get jammed with spotters though!

You may have to ask for 'special assistance' if you have had too much of the Old Speckled Hen, Michael;);)

Nice to see a VS 747 in the opening shot of the vid too

Mate, I won't even need to be wrecked to be asking if there's no travelators - I don't do walking

well if there's no travelators you have two options:

1. get somebody to take you on one of those buggies

2. sneak a trolley through security and get someone to push you across.

Oooh, I've always wanted to go for a ride on one of those

Don't know quite how I'd get that through the metal detector, but hey, gotta be worth a shot

well if you need to be disabled, we could always break your leg.

orrrrr sedate the driver using a cocktail or sedatives and then drive over and over the bridge

orrrr fake a disabled badge.

hide it in your carry-on

Don't know if the A380 has a higher tailplane that the 744, but they must have thought of that, eh? [:I];)

You certainly would hope that they had, but apparently (according to someone on airliners.net) it is too low for the A380, maybe the A380 was just a glint in Airbus' eye when the bridge was designed.

or if your mind is as warped as mine, you'll believe that BA gave BAA a back hander so that VS wouldn't beable to operate it's A380s at gatwick.

of course this is highly speculative....
