Well I don't work with REX or anything like that. I'm just a spotter and happen to live near one of the regional airports they operate to.
Well about ZRX (which I flew on just a few weeks after it reentered service for REX), I read an article in an Australian Aviation magazine saying that it was going to be converted into a freighter. Turns out that is actually KEQ and it was a mistake in the magazine. But I was told by a guy who works at REX base at WGA who I got in contact with on facebook that ZLY and its lifelong twin will be converted for PelAir after EKT. You never see any of this information on the rex site.
The older B+ is EKH (No 369) (Doing my research, all Saabs with a construction number from 360 and beyond are B+'s) - and funnily enough EKH is the only one still with the KENDELL and HAZELTON logos (stickers) by the entry door.
My mum flew Burnie to Melbourne on VH-ZLQ last Saturday which I thought was a very nice looking aircraft and she said it was quite noisy, but she said that the seats were also very comfortable.
