Airbus industries A-337 Beluga landed at Newquay airport 11:15 and is currently on the ground.
180 on the runway, backtracked and taxi up North side for departure.
Off the ground at 11:30.

You're best to post this over on Civilian Aviation as it's not a military movement.

OYS,
I’d be interested to know if it’s delivering or picking up a military helicopter though.
Cheers, Freeman

Very interesting and unusual visitor I wonder what this outside transporter has come to collect/deliver.

In 15 minutes? I'd say it's just a crew training flight!

It's worth pointing out these aircraft can't carry anything other than the fuselages and wings they were designed for.

Crew training, it's done 7 circuits up to now. But I'm not complaining about something flying around down here!

I would think it was crew training.
Every couple of circuits it would land, back track the runway part way and up the North taxiway, it was at the hold point for approx 10 mins before departing for another couple of circuits.
It was not on the ground long enough to load or unload anything.
