PEMBREY SANDS, WALES – A Royal Air Force (RAF) Airbus A400M Atlas Cargo aircraft from RAF Brize Norton paid a rare visit to Pembrey Sands earlier this month to conduct natural surfaces operations. The weather was being wet prior to the aircraft’s arrival at the beach, resulting in the pilot to first conduct some low approaches and some touch and go’s, before the 76 tonne aircraft was cleared to land on the beach of Pembrey Sands, near the village of Pembray in Carmarthenshire, Wales and near former RAF Pembrey.
