While up on the east coast of the UK shooting the Grey Seal colony at Donna Nook we were joined by a Airbus A400M on dry flare trials at various heights and speeds. Wearing the Airbus serial A4M016, the aircraft will enter Royal Air Force service as ZM401 and be based out of RAF Brize Norton. Sadly, the weather was grey and dull but it was great to see.
Two images.

Safe to say the Seals were not bothered about the visitor!
