Fokker 100 VH-FGB departs Norwich Aussie bound

[sparkie001uk]

Back in October a lone Fokker 100 VH-UQG arrived in Norwich, wearing former Austrian Airlines livery looking very tatty and need of TLC
she entered KLM and under went some maintence work with them followed by Air Livery soon after

Then on the 20th Dec she rolled out in the dark of the night and a lovely foggy night too reveling a stunning livery 90th Anniversary of the first Trans Pacific flight 
but afraid the night did not play too well with me and camera

Hi Mark,

Brilliant photos mate and what a scheme, really beautiful.

Have you got any idea when she will leave for Australia?

I’ll be back on the 28th and can feel a trip to NWI might be on the cards...

Thanks for posting mate.

All the best.

Afraid not we just see when she there and hope, you might need to pop over to NWI and good luck
North Side also better now as you will see on my posting in the Norwich Section
Have a good break

Just a warning, Bill, if you go to Norwich and are thinking of side trips.

Lakenheath does not re-open until 03/01/2018, Marham not until 04/01/2018.

Mildenhall opens tomorrow, but is closed 31/12/2017 to 02/01/2017 - apart from operational necessity and higher HQ authorised missions.

Cheers,

Bob
