Thanks Emil,

Your help much appreciated.

On what basis mate?

What if the newer aircraft is up for a D check? And the older one has just had one recently completed? There is a lot more that goes into an aircraft purchase than it's age.

What was old is new again.....

VH-OGM registered N372CM to Cargo Aircraft Management 27 July 2015 and ferried as ABX Air flight ABX30 30 July 2015 Alice Springs-Male possibly enroute to Tel Aviv? ABX Air and ATI are owned by Cargo Aircraft Management and previous ex QF B767's for them have been converted at Tel Aviv.

OGP was deleted from the Oz Register on 20/08/15 and has N197CR reserved on US Reg.

Just browsing a site where QF commonly advertises their aircraft for sale and it appears the only B767 which remains available is 30186, 2000 build which makes it -OGV

TT42040hrs / TC18411.

I've been procrastinating around on YT and found a video of ex-VH-OGJ now C-FOGJ (N324BC) at CYYC:

I must say that with the repaint into the WestJet livery and with winglets fitted she's looking more like a brand new B763 fresh out of final assembly at BFI. Not bad for a 24y/o bird as she continues on with her job gracefully flying the skies of Canada!

I see OGP was sold to a bank. Something tells me that plane will be scrapped...

A quick google search tells me that OGP will undergo conversion to freighter and join multiple other ex QF763s with ShenFung (or something like that) Airlines, China.

You mean these guys
