Proper Job

With those huge distinctive props windmilling away, the new Airbus A400M military transport holds short of the active prior to display at RIAT 2014.

 

Including this one, half a dozen of these huge beasts are operational as the development airframes.

 

Deliveries of production aircraft are now being made to both France and Turkey with the first of our RAF one's due soon.

 

Nicknamed the 'Grizzly' ours are to be called the 'Atlas'.

 

This is the first time I've seen one fly and what an incredibly maneouverable aeroplane she is!
