A 1985-Build Gulfstream III (TU-VAF / msn 462) business jet, owned by the Ivory Coast Government, made a rare appearance in Europe during the week, arriving at Luton Airport just to the north of London.

Delivered to the Ivory Coast Government in 1988, TU-VAF made at least one visit to Luton wearing its previous registration of N303GA.

However, since then, it been fairly elusive, although it was seen in both Brussels and Paris earlier in the year.

TU-VAF stayed at Luton for a little over 24 hours before departing back to Abidjan.
