Thanks Lloyd. I have JA18JJ being re-registered as VH-YXW in December, 2020. Is this incorrect?

Yes James added to Aus Reg on 21/12/20.

First flight on VH-Reg.

James and Greg i never saw a VH reg on the aircraft .

Confirmed this am by another very trustworthy spotter no VH reg on either side of the JJP 320.Nose wheel doors are also Japanese as well.

Lloyd,

It's odd because it flew under a VH-reg and JQ7992.

Maybe ASP doesn't have the ability to print stickers to cover JA-Reg.

Yes, that is why I asked my original question because I had it being re-registered but the new registration had not been applied to the aircraft, as shown on Lloyd's photo. I'm sure that this will quickly be rectified.

As there are other ex-Jetstar Japan A320s in storage at ASP, I wonder whether they will also still display their Japanese registrations when brought out of storage.
