Yes, G-VROM will be it's way up from LGW any minute with G-VAST going back down to LGW.

Thanks for the update we have a departure time of 16.30 now

It's actually G-VGAL Jersey Girl on her way up from Gatwick now

Ah yes, that is correct, G-VROM is positioning up there tomorrow for painting, she isn't ready for operations yet.

I remember a VS73 in 2008 I think where the announcements told us of a slight delay, whereas we could all see bits of one of the engines on the tarmac with several technicians scratching their heads. On re-assembly, it emitted a big puff of dense black smoke. Taken down again and re-assembled with better results.
A bit disconcerting but better discover problems on the tarmac than in the air.
