Wouldn’t have been Monarch A330s in the 1990s. They weren’t delivered until 1999 and in the early years there was an AD with the nose wheel steering that prevented turning over a certain angle which prevented 180 degree turns on runways such as Luton (and certain Caribbean destinations) as reported by Monarch to Flight International at the time. Resolved in later years.

I don’t believe Monarch ever scheduled a regular series on the A330 from Luton, to Orlando or anywhere.

Luton-Bangor-Orlando undoubtedly 757 or A300...
