Default Singapore A380 hasn't moved for weeks

The Singapore A380 parked near the old tower hasn't moved for weeks. Does anyone know why?

It's actually just a blow-up model put there so other airlines customers can see how big it is. Every now and then they drag it to a gate and back to the parking area again. If you're at the airport between 10:30pm and 11:00pm most nights you can see it being moved....I'm told it only takes 10 blow up men to move it...

Actually they forgot to remove the chocks.

And they change the last letter of the registration nearly every day just to keep the punters happy.



Truth is it has a longer layover than it used to. It came in at 0540 this morning and will leave at around 1550 this afternoon.

Funny that. It's currently parked at Bay 72, near General Holmes Drive.
