RARE Kuwait Air Force C-17A departing Newcastle Airport (KAF-343)

By far a very rare movement at Newcastle Airport is Kuwait Air Force's C-17A Globemaster from Kuwait City.
Having arrived on Sunday afternoon I was expecting it to go out on Tuesday. After further info came to light it turned out it was scheduled to go out on Wednesday morning at 8am.
So on Wednesday morning at 5:30am I set off to the airport to make sure I caught it this time around.
At 7am having called for his clearance they then went on to request engine start up at around 7:30.
As an Aer Lingus Regiona ATR turned onto final at 7:57 KAF-343 departed runway 25 right in time.
This is definitely one of my favourite movements this year from the local with hopefully many more to come.
