Hi Jamie
Correct - the former Ansett B767, VH-RMF, was intended for Gadair and was leased by them on 12/7/06. It was painted up in full Gadair colours but the deal fell through and the aircraft returned to the lessor, Wells Fargo Bank in late 2006 or early 2007.
It was subsequently purchased by the Dallas Mavericks Ownership Group (basketball team) on 16/2/07 for use as a "luxury airborne coach" and is configured with 100 first class type seats, two lounges and two bars ! I believe it's registered N767MW.
The only other ex Ansett B767-200 still flying is the former VH-RMG which is now EI-CXZ and operated by Transaero of Russia.
The others, VH-RMD, E, H, K, L and O have all been broken up.
