A400M Beach Landings
Pictured is an RAF A400M Atlas transport aircraft carrying out a series of spectacular test landings and take offs on a beach in South Wales.
The trial at Pembrey Air Weapons Range was organised by the DE&S A400M Project Team, based at MOD Abbey Wood in Bristol, in conjunction with Airbus and the Royal Air Force.
Atlas is coming into service as the 2nd Tranche replacement for the C130K to provide a tactical air lift and strategic oversize lift capability.
Operated by 2 pilots and a Weapons Systems Operator (Crewman) (WSOp (Cmn)), the aircraft has the ability to carry a 25-tonne payload over 2, 000nm to established and remote civilian and military airfields, or by landing on short, unprepared or semi-prepared strips

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring sight of an RAF A400M Atlas transport aircraft conducting a series of exhilarating test landings and take-offs on a picturesque beach in South Wales. Organized by the DE&S A400M Project Team, Airbus, and the Royal Air Force, this trial at Pembrey Air Weapons Range showcases the immense capabilities of this remarkable aircraft. Designed as a replacement for the C130K, Atlas is set to revolutionize tactical airlift and strategic oversize lift operations. With two pilots and a skilled Weapons Systems Operator (Crewman) onboard, this versatile aircraft can effortlessly carry a staggering 25-tonne payload over 2,000nm to both established and remote civilian or military airfields. Furthermore, it possesses the unique ability to land on short, unprepared or semi-prepared strips – expanding its operational reach even further. The photograph beautifully captures the moment when Atlas gracefully touches down on the sandy beach amidst billowing clouds of dust. The sheer power and agility displayed by this magnificent machine are truly awe-inspiring. As it prepares for take-off once again, leaving behind an ethereal trail of sand particles suspended in mid-air, one cannot help but marvel at its capability to conquer any terrain. Andrew Linnett's expertly captured image not only highlights the exceptional performance of this RAF asset but also serves as a testament to their unwavering commitment towards innovation and excellence in defense technology.
