The 4/3/3 formation that's worked so well for Ipswich Town, external in their last two matches looks set to stay. 

Boss Mick McCarthy switched from his favoured 4/4/2 line-up for last week's trip to Wolves and it resulted in Town's best two performances of the season.

"I went to 4/3/3 against Barnsley and we scored four goals in the second half, so it is something I've considered," said McCarthy.

"It can make you more compact and then at times you've only got one striker and he gets isolated, which makes you less of a threat. It's certainly a consideration."

The Airbus A400M, some of which are being tested in Woodbridge, was developed at a cost of €20bn and was designed to be a heavy aircraft for military and humanitarian operations.

It took a decade to bring the A400M to the skies in one of the European military industry's most ambitious projects - with the first plane delivered in 2013.

The Ministry of Defence says the tests at the temporary runway at Rock Barracks, Woodbridge, are to ensure the aircraft can "safely carry out all the tasks that are planned".

The UK has ordered 22 A400Ms to operate from RAF Brize Norton, in Oxfordshire.

We're heading to Woodbridge later today to take a closer look at the aircraft.
