What Is this?

[OLD LHR SPOTTER]

I saw this on airways the other day and at first I thought It was just an A320but after looking closer Im not sure......

A German or Canadian A-310 MRTT perhaps?

Looks like an RAF A330 MRTT, large winglets and Trents (the wing pods are removed at the moment)

I dont think It was that big, Its fusalage looks the same shape as an A320 but slightly longer(not quite as long as A321) and Its wings are very narrow at the fusalage and with a straight dihedral and with 4 flap pro-trusions, and also quite narrow engines not like wide fans?

Certainly a RAF A330. You can clearly identify the A330's winglets as well as the darker grey lightning flash on the forward fuselage.

I concur, definitely a RAF Voyager...
