Edward “Ed” Strongman, Chief Test Pilot Military, who captained the flight, said after landing: “It was very satisfying to conduct this first flight of the first A400M for the Royal Air force. I have no doubt that its combination of true tactical capability with strategic range will be an enormous contributor to future air mobility in the RAF.”
The aircraft is the first of 22 ordered by the UK and will be available for delivery by end September. In RAF service it will be known as the A400M Atlas.
