Yesterday evening we were lucky enough to have a visit from RAF Brize Norton in the form of an Airbus A400M Atlas. The Crew made 3 low approaches and overshoots onto Runway 22 which was very impressive to watch.
if you were anywhere near Welshpool at the time you couldn’t have missed it!
Here are some brilliant pictures from Phil Bets.

Everyday is certainly different at Welshpool! We recently had HTV (ITV Wales) working on a program that will be released in April next year. It featured a bi-plane flying around the local area and using the airfield as base with a few extra surprises thrown it. It’s always great to see something that maybe beneficial for the local area and we’ll let you know when it’s out on TV!
A lovely treat to see this lady back flying!
This 1941 De Havilland Tiger Moth visited us from Knockin airfield a couple of times last month.

From today in Wales, face coverings must be worn in public indoor spaces by everyone over the age of 11. This excludes those with health or medical-related exemptions.
Therefore we are now obliged to ask that you wear a face mask when entering the airport building.
Thank you for your co-operation
XW232 Puma in from RAF Benson for JET A1 Fuel & Lunch.
They had departed from RAF Shawbury and popped in on their way to do some mountain flying.
It’s always great to see the military at Welshpool, we don’t see Pumas very often.
