Baleraia have announced that the former Swift will be renamed HSC "Cecilia Payne" (a British/American Astronomer wiki) when she enters service on the 1st June between Denia - Ibiza and Palma.

Do we know when J. Swift and D. Swift are to swap over?

End of April I believe was what was announced.

9th April is plan but this could change.

The 1st May might be the first day in service for the new Dublin Swift. IF timetable shows a change on that date with the current 0845 swift departing at the earlier time of 0830 from that date?

That would be extremely optimistic from what I have heard tbh!

Sounds plausible. Bit later than the "late April" previously expected but not that much later. IIRC I read somewhere Jonathan Swift goes to Balearia in May so would fit that timeline as well.

Jonathan Swift to be handed over to new owners end of April according to announcement.

Crew have already received training on Dublin Swift.

In her new livery might be photoshopped?

Perhaps, but I can confirm she is in her new livery now and it looks like the latter picture.
