The Captain asked ATC for a 'full power take-off' and went up like a rocket. The aircraft was empty and appeared to be without seats. It was ferrying to Norwich (NWI), we think for repainting white prior to lease return.
Update 13-Apr-14. The aircraft returned Norwich/Manchester today newly repainted in Royal Flight livery (new Russian airline). Expecting it to be all white, I stayed home... and missed it!
