Press launch
The reasons for the second aircraft arrival on 26th was that:
A/ There will been a spare aircraft based at STN anyway as a standby aircraft incase of tech-probs. I hear this aircraft will rotate out on a revenue flight every 3 days so it also gives them regular down time for mtx on the birds.
B/ It being the press launch they wanted two aircraft there and ai understand that even the fire brigade gotin on the act in squirting some water around for the cameras but I havent seen and pics yet.
Good luck EOS...
