Bornean Orangutan at Chester Zoo, 06/07/13

Pongo pygmaeus

One of the Blackpool orangutans. Currently housed on one of the islands (Near the chimpanzees) which are on-loan at Chester whilst their enclosure is under construction.

Pretty sure (not 100% though) that is Vicky/Victoria- prominent throat sac, thin hair on forearms.

Do they have a date for them returning to Blackpool yet?

You would be correct with the ID of Victoria. I'm not sure on a return date now as I believe there has been a few delays in the building work however, I will be uploading my photos from Blackpool (which include construction site photos) very soon.

There are delays. It may not happen this year.
