I saw one onboard yesterday and the same version today on my current flight - so I am not sure how many versions are “out in the wild”, based on my small survey sample. Both were the 707 with female FA stood in front version.

By popular request (Even smaller sample size) I have changed the rules today for The Travel Game. We will now use the Business Life Magazine for the graffiti. It will double our chances of a sighting!

I saw two different editions yesterday that were already quite trashed so I didn't take either but I saw this fresh one this morning (first flight of the day):

I am on the same plane twice today in two different seats, but have spotted three different varieties in board so far, so they must have mixed batches.

What I think has happened is that originally they would have been loaded with one or two versions on or just before 1 August. However as people have taken their own copies, the replacements are in whatever batch they have available at the start of the cabin refresh process. So by now the cabins are indeed somewhat mixed up.

I have fulfilled the PMs above, and I have 2 spare longhaul blue copies, purloined from the A350. They both show HM the Queen with the Archbishop of Malta, the Most Reverend Sir Michael Count Gonzi, when she visited MLA in 1967 on a BEA Trident. Same conditions as in post 8.

Sorry for the possibly obvious question but I have picked up 6 different so far. 2 "Green" on an A321neo and 4 "Blue" on the A350. All in various states from spotless to a rather beat up Concorde one.

I take it "Green" are the shorthaul and "Blue" are the long haul? But whats the third "Yellow" type? I'm probably not thinking this through so am a bit confused.

Yellow is midhaul I believe, it all hinges on the IFE options, that's the main difference between them. Iberia has a similar system.
