The University's Atmospheric Chemistry department has shared fantastic photos showing a bird’s eye view of campus. 

The photos were taken by an aircraft commissioned by The Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurements, a collaboration project between NERCScience and the Met Office.

The purpose built aircraft has flown on many test runs across the country and recently flew low over the Heslington East and West campuses providing these rare shots.

Former York Vision editor-in-chief and University Challenge extraordinaire Barto Joly de Lotbinere was quick to compliment the aircraft, saying: “That, my friends is one hell of a plane.”
