A Very Different Airbus at Wellington 24-11-2022

Not our usual NZ Civair post but pretty interesting nevertheless.  Tim Gorman was at Wellington last Thursday to catch the arrival of an RAF Airbus A400M Atlas.  The aircraft called in en route from Fiji to Canberra and only stayed on the ground for about an hour.

A400M Atlas ZM418 taxies in to the Western apron at Wellington.  What a spectacular aircraft with its 8 bladed props and refuelling probe out the front.  The RAF has 21 of these aircraft on strength.

Thanks for the photo Tim, very impressive!
