I think this was the only time they used the full version of the 1994 theme. Actually sounds edited to make it longer

[@Thesweaterfactory]

It is, only from about 1:35 though. The full 1994 theme only had one bridge, not two. At 1:35, it would of finished from where it is at 1:55.

[@scottybee8]

did they use a drone to record the view of London or was it inside the Airplane because the footage does shake a little

[@SummerBayJournal]

No drones in those days, it was most likely footage taken from a helicopter, either specifically filmed for the show or from stock footage. There was no airplane, Kathy wasn't really flying over the River Thames, the actress would have just filmed those scenes on the tarmac if it was even a real plane interior.
