She said yes! Couple get engaged in cockpit of Royal Air Force A400M Atlas

The RAF Atlas aircraft is capable of carrying out a number of roles, but it has added another string to its bow – the setting for proposals.

At this year's Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT), the cockpit of an A400M Atlas served as the perfect place to pop the question.

The RAF shared a post on X that confirmed the bride-to-be said 'yes', posting a picture of the happy couple and a video of the proposal itself.

• Two A400M Atlas now available for D-Day commemorations jump
• RAF A400M Atlas drops seven tonnes of aid into Gaza in latest relief run from the UK

RIAT is a three-day event that sees a number of military aircraft perform for excited crowds of civilians, with the airshow held at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire.

When they are not being used for grand, romantic gestures, Atlas aircraft provide the Royal Air Force with tactical airlift and strategic oversize lift capabilities. 

The Atlas was recently used by the RAF to deliver aid to Gaza.
