A flying visit (via Frankfurt both ways to sample the delights of Lufthansa CityLine (out) and Cirrus Airlines(back)) with car so everything that could be seen was noted. An interesting perspective on the DC was witnessed (see photos) as a result, including the repositioning of the second A380 for Qantas during the early hours.
The usual disclaimers apply: Brackets indicate assumed reg. from previous intelligence. No brackets = positive sighting. All times are French local.
All frames parked-up, unless noted.
