Looks good, although I'm slightly surprised that there isn't a "Little Red" subscript under Virgin Atlantic.

Also, aren't they leaving it a bit late with aircraft delivery if the first flight is on Sunday?

Interesting that it went all the way to Singapore for the paint job ... apparently there's another in Dubai at the moment for cabin fitting. Shame these things can't be done in the UK.

Hmm, I've just received a photo from Aer John of the seats in mid-fitting. I thought it was being done in Dublin. The seats are a browny-beige or perhaps it's a beige-brown ):

Apparently it went to Singapore as apparently thats where GECAS (the lessor) needed it go to complete its previous end of lease check or something like that...

I look forward to flying to Scotland onboard soon :)

That makes sense, thanks.

What are their ranges, how many refuelling stops would they have to make between LHR and Singapore - 2 I guess, somewhere like Athens and Mumbai??

EI-EZW (as pictured) and EI-EZV are in Singapore for their GECAS checks after being returned from Meridiana, as AmexVflyer so correctly said. EI-DEO has been painted in Shannon and EI-DEI in Dublin where she has also been re-fitted.
