This is from September, so perhaps it didnt eventuate.

If FVN / FVP are still listed, then this would suggest FVQ/FVR/FVY are those sold. Would probably make sense for the two in CNS, FVY is interesting as it hasnt flown since 2019 but is younger.

Got a closer look today as both were parked in line, FVQ is close to finished while FVR is still sans engines, both appear to have had the leading edge of the tail replaced pretty much obliterating the Virgin logo

My suspicion is that just the paint has been replaced on the leading edge of the tail - maybe with the deliberate aim of obliterating the Virgin logo. Temporarily painting the rudder might be slightly more complicated due to weight and balance issues (for what would be a temp paint job anyway until a new operator is identified) hence my suspicion the front section was painted for the purpose of removing the Virgin name.

Just my educated guess.
