Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Armée de l'Air A400M Atlas named "Ville de Cambrai"

Post by NLExile »

Saturday 5th September the seventh and last delivered - to date - Armée de l'Air A400M Atlas MSN0019/F-RBAG was named "Ville de Cambrai" at the BA103.
The Cambrai-Epinoy closed airbase and runway (since 2013) was as an exception reopened for the ceremony.
In the background the Epinoy's church tower.

I thought only the RAF used Atlas as the name of this type (as the then chief didn't like Airbus' Grizly).
