  1. The a/c 'sounds' like a Boeing.
I thought that Airbus has - as the last call - 'retard, retard', which is not on this recording. But it may be one of those optional things.

Definately an Airbus (A330)

As for the retard, I am not sure but that maybe when the aircraft is doing an Autoland. The thrust levers do not automatically "retard" so has to be done manually.
