UK - Airbus - Morning tea and the A380

A driver working for the Farnborough Airshow sips his cup of tea in the VIP parking area with the new Airbus A380 double deck airliner in the background. The crowds were impressed by the sight of this graceful 555 seater superjumbo, but Airbus are facing huge challenges with its development. There have been problems with the 312 miles of electrical wiring on each plane. This has caused a two-year delay that could cost the company £2.8bn (£1.9bn). Airbus has sold 159 of the $250m (£134m) jets to 16 airlines, many of whom are already demanding penalties for late delivery. (Photo by Gideon Mendel/Corbis via Getty Images)
