All correct - it was G-BOAC fresh out from her airworthiness mods and on a shake-down flight - first time she'd had air under her wings since the grounding and great to have her back (now the earliest Conc. in service in order of production - #204). Well earned beer for all those engineers - thanks guys. The 002 would have arrived a couple of hours or so later on the temporary later timing.

The "regular" 002 timing (1725 local arrival LHR) should resume in August (as will a weekend BGI schedule for that month), the late schedule being necessary to avoid nightstopping an airframe in JFK until we have enough back in service, 'AC should provide that when her release to service is complete.

As for double daily - we're still waiting on the decision, but in should be in the forseeable...... G-BOAB will take G-BOAC's place in the hangar....
