I see G-VFAB has moved to LGW. Is this a temporary thing or has she been relocated for good?

Ok. Do you know how long that will be? Really wanted to fly her for VS10 in May.

I believe it's temporary.

One-by-one, the LGW 747s are undergoing heavy maintenance in China. English Rose spent a month out there and is now back. I can't remember which one is being worked on at the moment.

Whilst this is happening, an LHR 747 has been drafted in to cover. A fair few V-Flyers will be travelling from LGW on a LHR config over the next few months which will give us plenty of opportunity to use words like 'shabby', 'tired', etc in our trip reports...
