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.

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!

This is the only one I've managed to catch, as I'm usually the one stuck at work!
