Looks like an A319 to me, is that LGW? So what's this plane doing there? Do they have some sort of leasing arrangement, or is this a very good piece of photoshopping?
I'm still in two minds about the motives behind this. Any legal eagles know where the law stands on appealing for investment like this? Presumably, they can't be slapped by the LSE if they aren't even members yet?
It would be easy to cry fraud, but I think we all know how much the airline industry attracts dreamers.
