Just shows how quickly these aircraft can operate their
purpose built as a tanker and also a holiday Jet !
This aircraft is usually based at Manchester doing jet2
flights for them
My son and family flew on this one last year when they
took their holidays in Tenergrief , both directions

G-VYGK isn't a tanker, it's just a bog standard Airbus A330-243.

Am I correct in saying G-VYGK is operated by Air Tanker Services?
