I think you will also find that the airframe on display at Farnborough is painted red for a pretty damning reason.

Peter Bond visited that same red airframe in Prague during the AirMed show in May. Lots of zipped lips by Bell employees - and I doubt that has changed much.

The owner of a fleet with a mainly red corporate scheme was complete with twinkle in eye!

I guess the scenario is that he will take the 10 [or is it 20 as also rumoured?] if the certification to EASA happens to schedule and to spec.
