Anyone guess where I went straight after work? Was kept very quiet and not many saw it.

Nope, thats next week, although I'm at work that day so won't see it.

It carried out it's first flight today. Airbus wanted it kept quiet and there weren't many people there because nobody knew.

Most impressive and a great day for both the airport & Airbus.

When I say first flight, I meant first flight of any Airbus into City. The A318 is already in airline service.

Arghh! I'm getting it all mixed up! The fact that the aircraft was in Airbus livery threw me off even further.

So, it's just the certification process to fly to LCY, then?

Correct.
