Airbus' magnificent new BelugaXL landed in Broughton on Thursday to huge acclaim.
On a lovely clear day, the aircraft's first flight into North Wales was watched by hundreds of excited spectators in and around Hawarden Airport.
Leader reporter Aaliyah Rugg was close to the runway to capture the Beluga XL's spectacular flypast, while another fantastic video was sent in by Matt Hellen.
