View of the Beluga XL aircraft as it flies low overhead, with clear blue sky above it.
The fuselage and distintictive nose shape resemble a Beluga whale.

View of the Beluga XL aircraft as it flies low overhead, with clear blue sky above it. The fuselage and distintictive nose shape resemble a Beluga whale.

The Beluga XL flies directly over Handbridge as it circles Chester on its way to landing adjacent to Airbus UK East factory in Broughton, North Wales.
So named for its resemblance to a Beluga whale, the aircraft transports wings made at Airbus to other factories around Europe.

Shrine to the goddess #Minerva, Edgar's Field, #Chester. Second century (with modern surround), carved on a quarry wall; the only one to survive in situ in Britain. You can find it in Handbridge, just across the Old Dee Bridge from the city centre.
