Virgin 737-800 VH-BZG
 

Looks like BZG has been put in to storage at MEL, all senses and pitot tubes and APU openings have been covered over along with engine covers.

Yeh I saw that too Paul, its been there for a few weeks now I think...

Interesting.

I don't understand why they would store a very young 737-800, but still operate the two 737-700's.

Bit odd wonder what the story is.

According to flight aware its most recent flight was on the 9/3 from SYD to MEL

I believe it's scheduled to fly VA811 MEL - SYD on Monday morning.

Here it is yesterday with everything covered and sealed up.

VA 737-700 couldn't see the reg was inside the John Holland hanger yesterday as well.

That would be VH-VBZ. Has been in Melbourne since Tuesday (11/3)

Now scheduled for VA309 MEL - BNE tomorrow morning.
