Dash-8's to Kenya
 
It seems that the ex QantasLink/Eastern/Sunstate Dash-8s (VH-TQN,TQQ,TQT,TQV) have been sold to Kenya.

Does anyone know where they are going and new regos etc ?

Ahh, TQQ - the first and last Dash I operated at the Link :D The only difference was about 25000 hours in its MR. :)

Hi Greg,

Wasn't they sold to a South African Company? I believe they will be leased out?

One of the dash 8's has reg 5Y-VVN at BNE this am.

Cheers Lloyd

More Info
 
VH-TQN,TQQ,TQT,TQV were all deleted from the Aust. Civil Register on 15-16/09/08 and shown exported to Kenya

They may well be leased out.

I bet Stan from Skippers is rather annoyed at the situation. I believe that he had put a bid in for 2 of them.

All sighted this afternoon with regos applied as follows.

5Y-VVN
5Y-VVR
5Y-VVS
5Y-VVT

Annoyed that he didn't put a high enough bid on them perhaps?
