New livery re-paint schedule & which aircrafts?

Hello,

I wasn't sure whether to put this into the thread about the new livery, so if it is in the wrong place then apologies from the start.

The new debatable livery (which I must say that I actually like apart from the removal of the Union Jack from the winglets); is there a schedule of which aircraft is being done and a timescale for them. Or will it be on the arrival of the new A330's? :?

There is a VS staffer on the facebook site who said that 50% of the fleet will be in the new livery within 2 years.

I don't have a schedule however it seems there are a couple of A346s due soon in the new livery.

It'd be nice to be able to compare the new livery on A346 to the B744.

I've seen a huge model of the A346 with the new livery and it looks fantastic - it really suits the Airbus aircraft! :D

Im sure ive seen one in the livery thread on here. Not sure how accurate it is though! Although it did say VFAB is due in soon and that would make sense as its been flying round in the birthday livery for over 5 years now.

I can only find the mock ups of the A330 & the A380 but nothing for the A340's! If I find one I'll post it.

I flew on G-VROC on VS019 on 30th Sept, I must say that the new livery does look even better in the flesh apart from the winglets they just look shocking without the UJ. I tried to take a photo but it was raining at LHR but they just look tacky!
