Sorry bored in work, the only outstanding A35 for VS that i can see loaded on the latest production schedule is c/n 507 which will become G-VLIB and named "Lady Emmeline", test reg has been allocated as F-WZFU and will be configured C16W56Y325
Don't see any others for VS at the moment
Cheers
Adrian

According to the all knowing widget these will be :-
MSN Regn Status Test Regn
507 G-VLIB in FAL [F-WZFU]
511 G-.... Defer from FAL
513 G-VWHY Pre Load - FAL
521 G-VNVR Parts Arriving
547 G-VELJ oo Parts 2nd qtr 2022
All are -1041's
Not sure what's going on with # 511, it looks like it may have been deferred as a Singapore -941 has taken it's slot in FAL.
Cheers
Adrian

Also, MSN547 is now allocated to BA as G-XWBL so for ELJ at the moment the MSN is unknown |

Cant find anything in the system at work regarding A350 reggies, however I did see that VS are expecting to have 3 A339s in service by November this year

Nothing yet, just hope its not as heavy as the current ones as they play havoc with trimming the aircraft with them being so nose heavy

No updates yet sadly, however is there any news on G-VEVE and when she will return to service? My current guess is when G-VLIB is delivered...

G-VLIB is apparently being delivered to Heathrow at about 4:30pm on 24th April. Any updates on the last few registrations or delivery schedules of the rest?

VLIB is in bucket and spade config the same as VEVE, Also on the cards in May ish is a possible new type to the current fleet which has very few windows and will be operating mainly European sectors! |
