-Remember Andy, this is bmi, anything can happen as we've seen of late!

-OK, so maybe I'm trying to apply too much logic to the situation - all I want is to get a pic of it (if its had any sort of paint job done on it!).

Ah yes the holy grail :D
All we can do is wait and see, but i'd thought a major paint job won't be done. maybe some bmi titles on the front and tail?
We'll wait with baited breath, i'm sure our Mod will be up there on the weekend :p

-Tough decision, eh? :D
Nothing definite yet, so I could be at Ringway after all. :)

-I suspect you can look forward to a ghostly white 757 with a modest "Bmi" graphic applied somewhere near the front end ?
As per the ERJ they recently took custody of.

-Informed sources tell me the MAN-IAD is on the Icelandair 757 from tomorrow (Thursday) - it should be positioning into MAN sometime today. Expected paint job is basic Icelandair with BMI logos on the front end and tail.

bmi's Mumbai service starts 14th May departing LHR at 09:35, so I'd have thought that the A330 would be pushed to arrive in MAN at 06:05, be turned around, ferried to LHR and still be ready for a guaranteed on time departure for the first service to Mumbai - I presume that they'd not want it to be late given they're likely to be doing a bit of PR around the first service. Either way, they'll need the 757 to operate MAN-IAD Saturday at the latest, maybe even to operate the service on Friday.
So, anyone know (for sure) when ICE 757 TF-FII is due to turn up at MAN for bmi? And anyone know (for sure) what paint job it will have?
