I was in DUB today and within 100 yards of where the refits take place. Not having the above information I was craning my neck to see if there was any sign of a VS plane or whether the doors would open a crack to let me take a peek!

and it looks like she's back [8D]:

So that's 3 out of 5 done now then (indicated with * below from Alan's original posting about input dates ) - for some reason G-VHOL was missed out, so it's a bit behind the 'rough' schedule.

G-VELD Jun/Jul*
G-VFAR Jul/Aug*
G-VHOL Aug-Sep
G-VAIR Sep-Oct*
G-VSEA Oct-Nov

Am I to assume ( hope ) that when the next 346's are delivered that the remaining J2000 aircraft are going to be able to be released more easily for refitting and/or removed from the fleet? When are the next 346's being delivered?

Although I see 3 x 346's lined up in the Aircraft Database, it seems non-suite 343's are going to be around for some time to come [:#]

Thanks,

David.

Just flew G-VFAR on wednesday out to Jo'burg - met Kelly Holmes!:D

The B section looked very nice, although unfortunately I wasn't sitting there.[:#]
