Just a chance..

Just a chance..
I took a chance on this, it was a spur of the moment shot as it flew over London. I didn't think it would come to anything.

The Singapore Airlines fleet features purely wide-body aircraft from five aircraft families: the Boeing 747, the Boeing 777, Airbus A380, Airbus A340, and the Airbus A330. In keeping with its policy of maintaining a young fleet, which stands at an average of 6 years 5 months as at 31 March 2008, it renews its fleet frequently.

The airline used its fleet according to plane makes. The Boeing 747-400s were called "Megatop", the Boeing 777s were called "Jubilee" and the Airbus A340-500s were named "Leadership". Names for airliners previously flown by the airline include: "Superbus" for the 8 Airbus A300, "3TEN" for the 23 Airbus A310-300, "Celestar" for the 17 Airbus A340-300,"Super B" for the 23 Boeing 747-200B, "Big Top" for the 14 Boeing 747-300.[citation needed] By contrast, Singapore has never named the Airbus A380 or Airbus A330. Furthermore, the airline has never painted an aircraft without its tail livery. Even special liveries such as the Tropical Megatop and the Star Alliance livery still retain the signature stylized bird on their vertical stabilizers.

In September 2009, the Airbus A380 marked a milestone with the airline when the tenth delivery of its frame exceeded that of the Boeing 747-400 for the first time.
