On This Day 5th March 1996.

C-GCIL, Airbus A310-324, Air India, at London Heathrow, 5th March 1996.
These were as rare as hens teeth in the UK - they operated some flights to mainland Europe, but never, as far as I'm aware, to the UK, as it was quite a bit out of range with any meaningful payload.
I have a funny feeling this was on a delivery flight to India - Air Club leased it on 12th January 1996 and immediately sub-leased it to Air India, so after maintenance and painting, early March sounds about right for a ferry flight.
