Default Early plums

This weekend to my surprise I found that one of the plum trees carried ripe
plums. These were all picked and sold at the gate this weekend. They sold
really quickly. Usually they are not ready until the wasps are out in force,
so we got a good crop this time instead of the usual third to wasps, third
to windfall.

Can anyone advise as to what this variety might be based on its earliness.
Plums on the other tree are still green.

Been picking Victoria for about a week. About 6lbs from a fan trained
tree - plenty more to come
