Firstly to answer MKY661 question, there is no paint shop at the moment, all that you see are decals and a try out was accomplished today by using paper to check for look and fit. Did not see the result but understand the Spotty M is a lot bigger, on size with the one on the tail.
G-OZBP was on check in MAN, but is AOG awaiting a Fan cowl coming from PIK.
Now for the A300's, we do not know which way the company is going to go with long haul. If it decides to pull back until post 2014-15, arrival of the "delayedliner", then they should keep the A300's and sell the A330's.
Reason the A300's will last till 2016 and you would get a good resale value on the A330's.
