Just to be clear on the thread title, March 5 is a NET at this point.
Not that anyone is going to ask my opinion, but I was kind of hoping that they would name one of the ATV's for H.G. Wells.
Even the British flag has desappeared in the ISS !

Very very very unlikely, since Great Britain is not much invested in the ATV program. Even the British flag has desappeared in the ISS !
I thought that after ATV-2 the cargo would be focused on dry cargo and not propellant. Have this changed?
Yes - ATV-3 was supposed to have lots of internal modifications to support dry cargo. Propellants were supposed to be less of a priority due to the "big boost" performed by ATV-2.I don't know what the status of this is though.
