10 miles out 300kts GS at 5500ft

Maybe this is the wrong thread for the opposite problem. Have a look at LGW webtrack 28 June from about 1003.
Apparently it dawned on ATC when the a/c was at 3 miles 1700ft with a ground speed of 250kts on 08 that the approach was "unstable" and a go around was ordered. The go around was pretty non standard just like the approach.
Would have been well set up for a run in and break or maybe that old ex Stuka pilot I used to fly with in Canada with is still around.
Is there still a 250 below 10,000 speed restriction? It's 20 years since I last had to bother with that, my glider can't manage more than 150kts.
