Airbus A380 and Boeing P-8A Poseidon in the foreground and A400M in the background. A busy bit of shuffling around at Farnborough 2014. Unusual to have a Boeing presence at Farnborough on the public days, they usually take all their toys home mid week. But this is a US Navy offering and most likely reason it was there as opposed to showcasing a Boeing product such as the Dreamliner.

Airbus named the A400M "The Grizzly" The RAF adopted the rather less interesting name "Atlas" This is a testbed for the type but it will become the last of those to be delivered to the RAF RIAT 2018 RAF Fairford

The Airbus A400M has been designated the rather boring name 'Atlas' for when it enters service with the RAF in late 2014. Airbus pilots call her the Grizzly. I'm with Airbus on that one! Seen here with the Red Arrows in what is a unique flypast at RIAT 2013 at RAF Fairford. Sony DSC-HX1 !http://ih0.redbubble.net/image.13536898.3185/pp,375x360.jpg!
