V-Flyer

I expected some pictures of the aircraft would be circulating by now, especially since she'll need interior fitting prior to the 'Spring' launch of UCS ... but nothing, and the production lists simply show her as "due".

Anyone heard anything?

I think G-VRAY "Little Miss Sunshine" is the first A330 due with the new Upper Class Suite....in fact I think she's already been fitted and is just awaiting delivery.

But G-VRAY isn't even listed in the production lists yet, whereas G-VGEM and G-VLUV are ... maybe I missed something but we did talk about Diamond Girl being the next one (esp. as we have a Diamond Queen!), was I wrong?

I have also been informed that it is G-VRAY as the first A330 to enter the LHR fleet in April.

Thanks, very interesting that there's no record from Airbus production threads of G-VRAY in any current state of build ... maybe it'll be another aircraft to be re-registered?

Not sure, but the info I got came from my usual 'source' within VS, who is usually spot on with the info provided.

Well whatever its name is, theres a pic here:

Looks good with the metallic red too.

EDIT: Looking at the tail fin, looks like its indeed G-VRAY.

and Miss Sunshine on the nose.

OK, own up. Who else tried zooming in on the windows?

Well spotted, but I still can't find any flights for her, yet she must be in Hong Kong being fitted out!
