Cool

No Barcode and no RD. You are all wrong.
Here is the true story.

BE is going to go for the A400C. It is the civilian version of the A400M. Have a look at http://www.airbus-military.com/
No kidding, the ideal aircraft.
Four engine turboprop, with awsome short field performances. LCY will be a laugh for this aircraft of extreme versatility and reliability. Launch expected in 2015, when BE will be the main UK operator flying to all continents.
After bying BA, Virgin and Ryanair, BE needed a new type of aircraft for some remote airfields in Africa and Asia. The A400C is the optimum solution and the annoucement next week by Airbus and BE together, of 250 orders of the type will be a big blow for Boeing and Bombardier.

Sorry guys but in the rumour competition I think I won. I GOT THIS INFORMATION FROM RELIABLE SOURCE OFF COURSE
