Default Ansett Livery Still Around

Found this on Airliners.
You can still make out the Ansett tail on this Boeing B747-300. Photo taken November last year.

Very sad. This week I was lucky enough to obtain a set of business class seats from an Ansett A320 Skystar. If you remember those days, they had dark blue seats, very comfortable. I only wish I could have the bulkhead as well, with the gold clock. What a classy interior they were.

There is an ex Kendell Canadair Regional Jet flying around in Europe still sporting the Ansett tail.

Those gold clocks were guarded like the mint.Many of us engineers had our eye on them and so did management.

I remember those clocks...did they have them on the 737s? If they didn't, I just found out those 737s I thought I flew on 10 years ago were A320s

Even the Y class seating on the AN A320s were pretty nice.
