A380 test flights?

Meant to ask this a while back but forgot. About a month ago a large 4 engined plane was flying northeast to southwest at high altitude, approx 30 000ft, essentially following the approach flight path to Glasgow airport that planes about 1000ft above the ground use. No commercial 4 engine aircraft fly over Glasgow in this direction. When the plane was overhead I noticed the wings were swept back at a different angle from a 747. Anyone got any idea what sort of plane it could be. The only thing I could think of was the A 380. One thing is for sure, it might have been high up in the sky, but it was damn big whatever it was.

Answers:
A more important question is will the 380 ever see commercial fligt. Any more delays and most of the signed customers are going to buy more 747's.
We had the Airbus A380 over here for the farnborough air show and it was the biggest plane i think i have ever seen. Yes the wings are slightly different to normal. It is very noisy to after a week of them practising for the air show i wa glad that it was all over in the end!
Christ, you have good eye sight! 30,000ft. Could have been an A380 or one of those dodgy extraordinary rendition American flights.
Might have been an A-380, could have been an A-340. Yet still, since it was so high, might even have been an Antonov An-124
it could of been an UFO?
oh easy it the dougless a70 from the us it been around for 10 years
The A380 Has been tested recently with passengers (474 Airbus Staff flew enough miles to fly round the world, supposedly) Also a few months earlier on one of the Test flights (full of test computers and pilots) flew to the wings manufacturing plant in Broughton north wales to do a very low fly over for the workers at the plant, it may of flew over Glasgow on either occasion.
You've got damn good eyesight, yeah 99% it must have been an A380.
