Typical. Bloody Scotsmen driving minibusses getting in the way of proper aeroplanes doing proper work!

PS At normal landing weight, the A340's Vapp would have been about 135-140kts, and the IAS inside 4D would have been about 145, so long as groundspeed mini wasn't a factor. So the overtake would have been about 20-25kts. If it was a -600, add 5 kts or so.
