That makes sense - I was wondering where it was going - presumably delivering/collecting for Airbus,

Ay, Hawarden via a rather strange approach over Wrexham to a down-wind landing. I guess it makes sense to somebody

It's the only time you can see something uglier than Barnsley, when standing in Barnsley.

Living and working very close to Hawarden we get the "pleasure" of seeing this all over the place. Despite the fact that it is a big, ugly brute, it is still impressive!

Are you referring to the Belluga or to Chris

In reply to Rampikino:

I saw it for the first in Toulouse last May on the way to Corsica, never occurred to me that I would see it over in the UK. Big and bumpy but an impressive flying machine

It's a regular over Mold/Hope Mountain and the Clwydian Range. Still freaks newcomers out when they see it for the first time...

Yep - if you are on top of Hope Mountain you can basically look down the length of the runway at Hawarden.

Carry on. Show us the true extent of your ignorance.
