Military A330 at LHR today?
Anyone know what the A330(?) was that landed at Heathrow around 3pm please? With my spotting head on I was watching the landers from the garden and glimpsed what I thought was a 330 - pale colour scheme with an unidentified flag on the tail. Might just be an airline I'm unfamiliar with.. but looked a bit military..??
Thanks
Thanks

Peruvian? Wow. Thanks very much for that, KM. OK on the type - well it had turned up winglets and looked biggish so being old and decrepit I'm allowed the mistake!

Bah, they all look the same these days, I remember back in the days of yore (yaw?) one could easily tell the Trident from the 727 and Caravelle etc, etc... happy days!

HD,
As I look outside now there's an Etihad A330 parked on what you'd remember as W6, next to the Royal suite. It was parked there when I got upstairs at five past two this afternoon. The 737 BBJ on the Royal suite now is the Columbian Air Force 001.

Just for the record guys, the country is Colombia - a frequent error, made by all the media, including the dear old BBC, presumably exacerbated by the two Columbias in N.America.
Just a small point, but it does deserve to be spelt correctly, as does Ingland Skotland and Island.

Apologies for my spelling mistake - should have known better.
Did anyone get a piccy of the aeroplane? Does anyone know if its was the first visit of a CAF aircraft to Heathrow?
