Gauntlet 58 A400M @ Dyce
Gauntlet 58 A400M @ Dyce
I received a tipoff that an A400M would be practicing a few instrument approaches into EGPD Aberdeen/Dyce today, so I dashed out to the airport and about 1145 she turned up, first a VOR NDB approach and then an ILS, going around both times. Sadly I was concentrating on geting the "right" exposure for the props (which didn't really work) that I never though to take the hood off the lens to they're a bit shakey.

Right place right time Jonathan, we have certainly had a few unusual military visitors in here this year but this one i sadly missed but heard it drone over the north of the city anyhow regards Donald
Re: Gauntlet 58 A400M @ Dyce
Up on the Overton road I knew it would be doing some approaches and go arounds, so I didn't bother at my usual spot at Falck. Just my luck that it was 16!Punkrunner62 wrote:Hi Jonay,taken from the 16 end.Crash gate track or up on the hill beside the reservoir(road to Overton Garage)?.Good shots of an unusual visitor.Cheers.
