First Picture of G-EUNA
 

Hi, just found the first picture of BA's new A318: Imageshack - pict0009b800

Look forward in seeing it pass over my flat on approach to City.

Can't wait to see it at City too!

Cant wait to see them crew training at Woodford !!!

Can't wait to see them refitted for SH on the MAN shuttle.:E

I see they went for the CFM power option.....anyone flying them with the PW6000?

It will be delivered to LGW on 31st of AUG IIRC. That's where it will be maintained as well due lack of space at LCY. If the route fails the aircraft will be converted to suit normal pax ops (overwing exits inside) and put on the mainline service from LGW. Training is at Manston.

Hello

This was noted test flying at XFW on Fri 21/08 in full BA c/s with German test registration

DB757 you sure the training is at Manston? I heard Manston couldn't do it because it would take too long to change the PAPI angle.

To add fuel to said fire the ILS calibrating B200 was buzzing woodford yesterday....getting ready for the A318 ??

How would this happen If all flights are near enougth fully booked?

Perhaps looking a bit further ahead, say 12-18 months? The flights might be fully booked at present but there's no guarantee of this further down the line...

Can an A318 even reach NYC from London?

Er yes, in BA's case Westbound via Shannon, Eastbound to London it's non-stop.
