Pax to fr8

BAE Systems were getting close to the A310 conversion at Filton in 2002, the plug was pulled when BAE decided to leave the aircraft business.

I am sure Filton did some A300F conversions before the lights went out. They were setting up for A310 but didnt actually start one.
Dresden is the venue of choice for Cargo A310 conversions.
Hope it helps
