You can adjust your preferred number of posts per page in the User Control Panel - then it will only be 2 pages.

Aer Lingus isn't British, they are Irish. Ireland is not part of the UK.

Quite so, but "British" may have appeared in inverted commas since Ireland is part of the British Isles archipelago, regardless of political divisions, just as the Isle of Man is (also not a member of the UK - and probably Scotland too, soon.....). On the other hand "British" may simply mean BA.

Probably best to stop digging.

Aer Lingus is not going to order 100 CSeries. And no-one who isn't trolling would attempt to describe Ireland as "British". Move on.

Bombardier don't currently have a press conference scheduled for Farnborough, so if there's going to be any announcement it's unlikely to be today.

Although the Airbus/Virgin Atlantic press conference wasn't listed on there and that happened today (11th)...

No C-series orders to be announced at Farnborough. So we can keep rumouring for a while yet!

3 pages of unfounded rumour then?

FWIW there's a CS100 at Luton at the moment being towed to the orange hangar.

It's FTV5 that's been at Farnborough all week.

It would be surprising if EasyJet had turned down the opportunity for their engineers to crawl over an aircraft that they've been evaluating for at least the last four years, but I wouldn't read any more into it.

I'm not sure there's much to be gleaned by crawling over a modern aircraft, everything's pretty much black-boxed.

We shall watch FR24 expectantly for any signs of test-flights...

Don't think it's any test flights. It's in somebody's hangar at LTN which is orange. I wonder who??
