Shannon had a most unusual visit in the shape of a German Navy (Bundesmarine) Breguet Br1150 Atlantique 2, serial 61+03. Based at Marienefliegerhorst (Naval Air Station) Nordholz, north of Bremen, 61+03 is one of only two or three Atlantique aircraft remaining in service with the German Navy until January next year. Since 2005 the primary anti submarine warfare role has been fulfilled by Lockheed P-3 Orion aircraft acquired from the Dutch Navy.
Pictured above, GNY 4750, 61+03 prepares to land on R24 for a fuel stop on it's west bound atlantic leg.
