Just updating/correcting the ID's of the 2 Qlink/Sunstate DHC8's that arrived in Canberra on Sunday.
The first one (LQE) will apparently become VH-LQD (LQE is current as a TB20 Tobago). The second one (LQG) will become VH-LQH. This is according to Skyliner news who corrected the registrations. Neither of them are on the CASA register yet so can't confirm at this stage.

A third DHC8-400, VH-LQF (4375), has left Downview (yesterday) so should see it arriving by the weekend. Ferry reg is C-GJKV.
As Sarah mentioned in the July thread, the routing is quite interesting. As before, I am taking info from Skyliner reg news. The routing for the first 2 was: Downview - Winnipeg - Yellowknife - Fairbanks - Nome - Magadan (Russia). Next leg quoted was Saipan to Port Moresby and assume direct to Canberra.

Nothing (extra/unknown) picked up on my systems; can only go by what is reported Zac.
Will monitor anyway and post any new movements.

Are these the new Q400's for the up-coming Perth base?

They will enable 2 400's to go to Perth, but it won't necessarily be the new ones going there.
The new 400's tend to stay close to a maintenance base until the bugs gets ironed out. |

A Look tonight from the carpark saw only two -Q400's on the ground. I was informed about three different ones earlier in the week, but it seems to have dropped to two (All in all I was told of about 4 different regos). -LQG was moved outside the hanger this evening, while -LQD was inside getting a bit of pre service work done to her.

Just came across this photo on Wikipedia of one of the two ATRs that will soon be delivered to Virgin Australia.
![]() Note the FVI on the nosegear doors. So it seems that MSN 955 will be registered as VH-FVI. |
