Posted in corporate movements, but new Falcon 2000LX arrived this afternoon, replacing F-GZLX (which was under loan whilst old frame was out of service). New frame carries old rego which was under hold, VH-WIO and carries a slightly revised scheme (gold swirl removed)

Great, thanks for the post and photos. What happened to the "other VH-WIO"? Do you know which frame was on display at Avalon last year?

Ummm.... Suffice to say it went for a check, and had an 'incident'.... Thus a new frame was needed...

Mods have since been made to old frame, reregistered and is now in China... ;)

The latest rumours:
VAR will get VH-FZH/11303 & VH-FZI/11333.
Alliance is expected to reduce VH-NKZ to spares (That is why it flew directly to ADL)
If so, this would be the 1st F-70 to be reduced to spares.
