[topboar]

HI folks

Decided to go and have a look at the A 400M conducting tactical landings at RAF Woodbridge on 16-08-16, i was very happy to see there test aircraft EC-402.
Unfortunately as the day went on it was only ground taxi work they were conducting
Here are a few pictures of the day hopefully more air shots to follow when i go down to woodbridge again.

I can almost taste the sandy heath smell thrown up by those props.

Great shots & a nice surprise! Thought i'd mis-read the title when i saw Woodbridge. Didn't realise it was still available to be used by fixed wing? Thanks for these - great to see some life at an airfield i spent so much of my youth at

Taxying or flying, it doesn't matter

You were there and caught some great, unusual, shots

Thanks for sharing

Great catch. Is this the first post on FC in Current Mil Photography from Woodbridge?

Great stuff.

I have just come back from cycling around MOD Woodbridge. Looks like they had wrapped up for the week.

I noticed that several of the hardened shelters had one of their doors open but I would say this is entirely unrelated to the A400M.

Good catch!!

There are a few good videos of the A400's Woodbridge activities over on Youtube...

Agreed with Paddy. Taxiing or flying, great catch. Loving the dusty look too.
