RAF A400 ZM400 short runway takeoff at Dundee Airport 2017 RARE

Whilst preparing to head up to Aberdeen Airport on Friday I found out throgh a go a 'Special visitor ' was due into Dundee Airport on Saturday morning at around 9am.
Without knowing at all what exactly was due in I decided to wake up earlier and left at 5:45 am to try and film this 'special visitor'.
As I drove into Dundee at around 8:45 I saw this RAF A400 turn onto final. As you can imagine I was very excited.
Sadly I narrowly missed it landing. Still I was over the moon to be there to film it takeoff.
The runway at Dundee Airport is 4593ft long (1400m) , nevertheless this A400 made light work of this.

No matter how many times I see it, these heavy cargo birds always leave me gasping how quickly they can get into the air! Awesome footage of a very rare moment.

Excellent video and having been to Dundee and seen the small runway it's great to see a large aircraft there. fascinating watching it reverse under own power. Great filming very steady.
