I am under the impression tht the 1st test flight on the modified aircraft (G-BOAF) will take place next week, although this has yet to be officially confirmed.

I think the flight will be out of Heathrow to an RAF base for tests. They will use an RAF base rather than using up vaulable Heathrow slots and also to get out of the gaze of the public (...and tabloid media).
