Branson says SS2 will fly end of 08 and passengers will fly by end of 09.

This interview was from March 07. So he was expecting test flights to start roughly in March of 2008 and passenger flights in March 2009. With the accident delay, I would now expect those dates to shift later by 6 months to a year.
