RAF Brize Norton ops – February 15th 2016

A few movements from Brize on the 15th Feb 2016. It was a lovely spring day, but quite chilly!

I’ve been after an A330 taking off towards me for a while, and I finally got one on this day. I’m still hoping to catch one departing from runway 25 so I don’t have the shoot over the fence, which is almost impossible!

Quite a slow day at Brize, but it was good to see some A400 movements and this A330. We managed to miss a few movements due to the cross wind and the tower changing runways during the day.

I hope you enjoy!

In this video a C-17 (ZZ171) departs at about 15:00 and an A330 MRTT (ZZ333) arrives at around 17:20. I managed to forget my scanner today, so no comms!
