A319 VH-VHD - White Wings?

Hi All,

Was looking at this photo of the Antartic A319 and I notice it may have white wings.

The flap canoes and landing gear doors appear white. Can anyone confirm this and why it wouldn't be the normal Airbus grey?

Thanks in advance.

Tony

Sorry for the rather large size guys.

Thanks Mike,

I saw that picture but wasn't sure if the reflection of the snow had anything to do with it.

Now my next question, are the top of the wings white as well? Find it odd that it wouldn't have a coroguard strip.

Cheers

This shot may give a bit more of an idea but not much:

The entire fleet of jets had white wings, sounds like an ad for a cake company!!
