Aviation Airbus BelugaXL

[PKM-UK]

Spotted on final approach passing over Chester Zoo.

(The clue was seeing all of the photographers present pointing their lenses skywards - you can read all about this aircraft by clicking Here ).

Nice shot. The Beluga flew close to us some ago, but unfortunately no camera with me at the time. I think it had been visiting Luton Airport.

Hi Graham,

Cheers - appreciated!

They seem to be regular over-flyers here - presumably for the Airbus Wrexham facility? - quite a sight for sure (and a distinct shift from Humboldt Penguins!).

Seeing a Humboldt penguin overflying would be a sight!
