More Aircraft
Whilst at a rally/car show recently, this flew over so I took a quick pic. I believe it is a Beluga freight carrier. Not something you see a lot of, so was quite surprised. Nice to see an unusual aircraft flying over.

Re: More Aircraft
Yes Paul it is a Beluga, they use them to collect Airbus wings from the Broughton factory on Deeside, from where they're flown to Toulouse or Hamburg depending where the plane is being assembled.

Re: More Aircraft
Did anyone else watch Planespotting Live BBC4 at 8pm last night? It was mainly Long Haul aircraft.

Re: More Aircraft
On last nights Planespotting Live, someone sent in a pic of a Beluga taken a while ago. They are looking for a picture taken this month.
