Aborted Landing By Emirates A380 Whilst on My Lunch Break

 

    So today once again I had my lunch break over at the Elmdon multi storey car park hoping to catch the Pegasus Boeing 737-800, But I had the pleasure of hearing the Emirates A380 do a rejected landing and hear the magical sound of those four huge engines power up to lift the beast back into the sky to have another go at landing.

    This was all caused by a TUI Boeing 737 not vacating the runway in time.
