What is it about the numbers 28 and 29?
So, I wonder, will 701528 and 701529 be the last two 701/5s in service just like 701028 & 701029 !.
(in reallity perhaps more likely to be the first 701/5s).

Perhaps someone overheard the MD say "yeah leave 28 and 29 alone over there for training"
but mis-understood which sub class was being referred to o_O.
