6902 out of the paintshop this morning, and 6901 went in in its place this afternoon (had red and black sections painted today, will have the blue done tomorrow).
6914 was returned to Riverside yesterday, with 6912 taking its place at Saltmeadows Road for repaint also. This one has largely been prepped now, so will be the next one to be sprayed (likely to be early next week now).
Handful of other B7s at Saltmeadows Road too - 6905/06/20/24/25 are the fleet numbers off memory - with 6920 the furthest progressed out of the Presidents in having the Hanover LEDs fitted.

Yes, all 34 of the ex-London B7s which were acquired for the Tall Ships event are being retained. Only the 19 '06' plate Geminis are being repainted in fleet livery, but all are having Hanover LED destinations fitted prior to starting their role in the scholars fleet from September.
All of the serviceable B7s acquired from London and EYMS will be out in force over the Airshow weekend. Subject to change, but the current plan is for all of the EYMS examples to operate out of Deptford and be allocated to the A1 service. Three of Riverside's OmniDekkas are currently planned to be loaned to Washington for the weekend to operate the A2 service on Saturday.
