I must say that she's a beauty :P

And nothing but the best for engines, those Rolls Royce Trents look humongous. :D

Also the reg of the aircraft sums it up for me "F-WWOW" :o

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...er..something like that anyway.  I can't imagine flying something so huge!  Maybe one of these days....
