You'd think, they would have wanted to do this earlier on, to help promote the games in "Jolly 'Ole England". Why do the Brit's seem to "jump on the band wagon" so late in the game ... ? They have known about this for at least 4 years, if not more.

I think the A319 looks pretty "meh" ......maybe its just me
