High winds were no match for the Airbus Beluga as it came in to land at Hawarden Airport.

The massive aircraft, which transports the wings made at the Airbus factory in Broughton, had a slight wobble as it came in to land in strong winds this week.

But the whale-like plane had no trouble correcting itself and making the perfect landing.

The Beluga had flown more than 600 miles from the Airbus base in Toulouse to the Broughton base, which employs more than 7,000 people.

The Airbus A300-600ST made its first flight in March 1996.

Plans are currently underway to replace the Beluga with the Airbus Beluga XL, which is set to become operational in 2019.
