Airbus A350 Flypast at Filton - F-WZGG

"WOW.......what an Aircraft!!"

 

Today saw me witness a very small piece of Aviation history.

 

Airbus very kindly arranged for their latest airliner, the all NEW A350, to make a whistle stop tour of the European factories, which help assemble this amazing new aircraft.

 

So from Toulouse it travelled via Nantes, Filton, Chester and several locations in Germany, so the staff at Airbus Industries could see that all their hard work has paid off and helped produce what looks to be another wonderful machine.

 

This will give Boeing some direct competition for the Dreamliner, looking at this new Aircraft, I think looks wise, it has the slight upper hand over the 787!

 

A fantastic Morning at Filton (north Bristol), just a shame the Runway is now closed, but to witness this new piece of Aviation history put a huge smile on my face.

 

However I will apologise for the quality of the picture, it was a grotty, dismal, cold and very grey morning. Not a lot of light to play with, even with a low light lense!!
