Hi Dave,

Sounds like Alliance still has work for the two, and wouldn't/couldn't fly them around in Virgin Australia livery. I'll bet they add the red paint next week.

Regards,

Steve S

Given the penchant for decals these days and the short-termish nature of the arrangement wouldn't they slap on some decals overnight at some stage???

That will be one big decal that will need to be soaked in a big tub of water first.

I don't believe it is there long enough for a full repaint - mainly the maintenance check I maybe proved wrong!


From another board:
VH-VOW getting ready to return to Australia wearing Virgin Blue livery
ZK-PBF rolled out of the paint hager wearing Virgin Samoa livery

Oh ok thanks Peter. That's disappointing to hear. Will any of the 77W get the new livery over the next few months?
