And another of the A-310s on approach into Stansted - a two pronged attack!
These actual A310s were daily regulars into Gatwick 30-35 years ago, as the RCAF ones are the old Wardair fleet, used for their last couple of years until Canadian Airlines took them over. Canadian then sold them on to the military. One of them has a VIP fitout and has always been sent over whenever The Queen visits Canada.
