Might you have misread the Air Tanker "surge" Voyager? Grey G-VYGJ came in early morning. It crossed Fairford when we were waiting for the gates to open, aroud 06.30 local time. And G-VYGL is supposedly still white with red "Jet2" titles and logo's.

You're welcome!
These days, G-VYGJ is mostly used on the shuttle service to/from RAF Mount Pleasant, Falkland Islands.

In other news, SkyNews reports that Brize has been closed as the runway is melting due to the heat, making it unsafe for the transport heavies to operate...
