Thanks for posting the great shots Robert, and I hope Rex operate the aircraft this livery for a while, like they have done in the past.

BAe 146 -300QT 3154 VH- Cobham Avn Svcs delivery 07mar18 LGG-BDS-HRG-AZI, EC-reg ex EC-MCL

My understanding this one is purely for parting out to keep the others going, so when it flies into Adelaide, it’ll probably be it’s last flight.

[Greg Hyde]

EC-MCL is due in Darwin tonight from Bali

[Greg Hyde]

EC-MCL is expected to complete its ferry into ADL today after refueling at ASP.

[Ryan Hothersall]

Seems to have broken down in Darwin, as it did not arrive in Adelaide today.

[Greg Hyde]

EC-MCL is still in Darwin.

Is it planned to add it to the Ozzie Reg ?

[Ryan Hothersall]

Even if it’s coming to be parted out according to sources here in ADL, yes it would have to be put on the Australian register.

[lloyd fox]

VH-FVM ATR72(Ex VA) in Hevilift livery flew CNS-BNE yesterday arriving around 6pm .
It will be BNE based with services starting in May.

Unfortunately i didn't go and get any photos.

[Greg Hyde]

Looks like EC-MCL is still "stuck" in Darwin.

After yesterdays CAT2 Cyclone it wasn't reduced to spares by the wind.

It appears it's now rehistered VH-NJI, but no idea if it's actually wearing the new rego yet.

I bet Cobham are starting to think this one is cursed.

[Greg Hyde]

NJI was added to the reg on 14/03

[Ryan Hothersall]

Finally arrived into Adelaide approx 1540 today still wearing the Spanish rego.

[Greg Hyde]

thanks, Ryan

It looks like it flew as NJI

[Greg Hyde]

Two interesting additions to the register:

Pacific Air Express added B757F to the reg on 20/3 as PQA
Jetstar has transferred a A320 from Jeststar-Asia on 22/3 as XJE which was VH-JQW/9V-JSE

[Greg Hyde]
