Posted: Sat Apr 16, 2005 2:11 pmi would say 20th to the 30th. date specific is impossible till a day or two before the flight. weather and crew readyness needs to be good.

Yes, I read a similar source today, maybe on A-net or pprune - I can't remeber which. Second half of April, it will fly when they're happy to. I'll put a fiver on Wednesday. Don't know why...
