over Wigan, which gave the Gunners fourth spot in the Premiership,
was a fitting finale for Highbury. |

A380 Visits the West
On Thursday, 18 May 2006, the new Airbus A380 performed a
fly past over Filton Airport, Bristol in salute to the aerospace
engineers who helped build the plane. She's been dubbed the
Queen of the Skies, and the VIP version of the new Airbus
A380 - complete with golf driving range - will cost a king's
ransom. The double-decker jet, whose wings are built partly
at Airbus's plant at Filton, Bristol, goes into commercial
service later this year.
