Second Air Comet A340-300

Hi all,
Managed to get a sneaky shot of the latest 340 for Air Comet. She has just emerged from the paint shop at Filton, I think this jet is an ex BWIA machine. I noticed Virgin and Air Comet Engineers were on site checking her out before delivery to Madrid later this week I assume.

All the best

Si

Is this not G-VBUS?

If it is or was, it is c/n 13 and will become EC-KCT.

Jethro, You could be right as there were Virgin engineers at the aircraft, I just didn’t get close enough to get the reg.

Right place at the right time, congrats. If this is number two into service and is c/n 7, is should be ex Air France, Air Madrid and was EC-JIS.
