G-VGEM back at MAN

Apologies if this has already been posted - had a quick look but couldn't see anything.

Looks like G-VGEM arrived at MAN 10 days ago for a respray into VS colours. Safe to assume it will be operating for VS soonish depending on weather it will be put into service at LGW/MAN or LHR.

It will be at LHR in 3 class config as DXB and the 9 go on to the 330 as of january

Seems like it could tie in with the amount of time it takes for a repaint and refit then.

Seems as if VS will have a bit of spare capacity then as only 4x A346's are going and even if VSXY, VKSS and VINE stay at LGW/MAN thats still an increase of 1 aircraft taking into account the new flights to JFK and BOM.

GOA ATL and TOP are leaving next year

I counted GOA and ATL into the 4x A346's that are leaving and wasn't counting TOP as thats LGW based.

SHY MEG VOGE FOX SEA and HOL have left this year

Ahh ok I thought it was only 4x A346's.
