Hi folks,
Had a quick look around the brand new Voyager currently sat at EGCC today.
I'm reliably informed its here for routine safety checks prior to delivery.
Looks very nice in the metal too.
Note its still wearing UK registration, G-VYGB and no doubt soon to be ZZ331 (Note nosewheel door)
I suffer from paranoid amnesia. I can't remember who I don't trust.

I've not seen good pics of the real thing yet Eddie.
Thanks for sharing

I thought they were all being modified in Spain prior to delivery? Has that changed?

Great shots Eddie, thanks!
Which engine option are we using on ours? From memory there's RR, GE and PW available.

Didn't get a chance to meet any air crew.
Although one of my colleagues went on board and had a natter.
I did wonder whether Tonks would be around.
Be good to meet him.

LOL The RB211 lives on. When you think it nearly bankrupt them, its been the basis for a huge success

Not me on that one as it is still on the civil register (it will be ZZ331 eventually, hopefully in the next couple of weeks). The jets will all be converted in Spain now...
I know it's an Airbus, but the 330 is a good looking jet!

They were originally going to be converted in the UK weren't they?
Are you able to say why the change?
