    How big????

    I have never actually seen anything this size in the air, still boggles my mind how it even gets off the ground. Whist at Chester Zoo saw it coming across the enclosures, quite a tight crop I'm afraid but again. . . . . OMG

      Super shot...

      Amazing aren't they.....known as the Guppy I think...I've only ever seen one on the ground being loaded.

        Fantastic! Presumably with most of another Airbus inside.

        I think the Guppy is a different aircraft. Same idea, of course.

              Don't think we'll be seeing it doing aerobatics at airshows. Not the most elegant of aircraft but amazing to see.

                  Great shots, David. You occasionally see the baby Beluga in Stansted.

                    It is a Beluga and will be going into Hawarden, they produce the wings for Airbus there and this is used to carry them along with other main components to the production line, it is a regular visitor. In the scheme of things, they are not the biggest by a long chalk. Google the AN225 which we get in here sometimes.

                    Nice shots. you have done well and I like them both.
