The UK Royal Air Force has welcomed its first Airbus A400M Atlas tactical 

transport for training use, as the service makes preparations to stand up 

its first operational squadron with the type early next year.

Lead aircraft ZM400 was formally revealed at RAF Brize NORTON 

in Oxfordshire on 27 November, some 10 days after it arrived 

on its delivery flight from Airbus Defence & Space's final assembly site 

in Seville, Spain.
