JQ has added another A320 to the fleet VH-XNJ (ex. 9V-JSP) added 14/01.

9V-JSP arrived in Melbourne direct from Singapore last Monday

[Greg Hyde]

Reported 2 x ex-RAF BAe146 (about to be withdrawn) are expected to come to Australia in late March.

My guess, Bankstown

Interesting, that one is an ex Nok Air bird which has the high density config of 86....wonder if it has kept this...

Both going to Pionair

One is ZE701 an ex Queens Flight model . It will not be coming to Australia . It’s been acquired by Pionair , however , it’s been donated to the IWM at Duxford , was delivered there a few days ago . It’s engines are to be removed and I guess used as spares for its Australian based aircraft . I have no information regarding the second aircraft .

Max you are correct, it is the latter two which were originally freighters before RAF service

They were QC models used ironically by TNT

VH-IYP

701 and 702 were pax, 707 and 708 were for tactical transport, medevac and freight. Hence white scheme on 1 and 2, grey scheme on 7 and 8.

From the latest Aeroplane Monthly.

ZE701 arrived at IWM Duxford on 24/1/22. The sensitive military equipment will be removed as well as low-time engines replaced with time-expired engines by engineers from Bankstown.
