And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, --and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of --Wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air...
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark or even eagle flew --
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

RAF A400M flight deck ‘punctured’ by bird strike
Royal Air Force (RAF) Airbus A400M had had its flight deck ‘punctured’ by a bird strike whilst on operations Getafe Air Base in Spain.
Images shared on the internet show blood & feathers both outside and inside the flightdeck area and a a large hole in the fuselage.
No one (well, apart from the bird!) was injured in the incident and the aircraft landed safely.

Glad they’re all unhurt.

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
Just had TF-AAL come over us quite low (low enough to see it was a 747). It looks like it's been doing some Doncaster to Beijing runs the last few days. It's nice to see and hear something other than the air ambulance for a change.

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
RAF A400M Atlas is supporting channel border force ops from today.
Might as well use them for something if there's nowt to shift.

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
So the RAF has a Shadow R1 spy plane circling five miles above our heads, meanwhile a large helicopter that isn’t showing up on the planefinder app is circling much, much lower. Freaky biscuits.

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
A bad Photoshop? The engines don’t look evenly spaced at all. Or is that a trick of perspective?
