The other option, if it was a jet, is a BBJ from Canberra. They come down to Sale reasonably often (lots of relatively free airspace available for pilot continuation training) and I'd guess about half their flights are not on fr24 either. That would make more sense, to me, as a visitor to tulla than a KC-30A (A330). Not that a KC-30A at tulla would be unheard of.

Talking of visitors to tulla, I've noticed that the aircraft from sale appear to have been visiting (touch and gos) a lot more during covid. I guess less traffic makes it easier to achieve without impacting rpt operations.
What's the biggest plane you been in?.civil or military, my eldest brothers first air flight was on Concorde!...not an average plane but the Concorde!
Too cool eh!
