That would be the Omni DC10 coming in on troop flights. This is due to carry on for a while yet, the pattern seems to be XL France A330 one day then Omni DC10 the next, then XLF A330, then Omni DC10 etc etc....

Should keep them going a bit longer then, these have been coming back daily for weeks now, since before Omni/XLFrance started doing them, when Monarch/XL UK did them.
