It's kinda cool in it's own distinctive way. I hope it works well for them

I believe Atlas is the official Airbus name for it. I must say, I am warming to it - I thought it was an ugly bugger at first, but its growing on me.

I think we will have a winner in this aircraft,
I did enjoy seeing this aircraft take it's first flight, it's bigger than it looks in photo's of it.
Thanks for posting,
Roger.

Interesting to see that the outer prop is stopped and feathered (both sides, if you look closely at the other under the aircraft).

Two small questions:
Two colour roundels in peacetime? Hardly think a small white circle would undo the low-vis scheme. Maybe this is another RAF change that I haven't kept up with.
Why are the crew's lunch boxes spread all over the wing tops in Joe's link? Is it something technical to do with the expanse of the wing, and lots of little deflectors are better than one big flap?
