Rego Request QF6 Saturday 4th
 
It would be great if someone could let me know which craft flew QF6 in yesterday. It's not on 16 Right ACARS for some reason.

Thanks in advance :cool:

Thanks Legend. I don't know what you mean by ex colourful but if I do a photo search on a.net, I bet I'll find out :o

OK, I see it. It's the livery (or similar) now worn by VH-OEJ.

Cheers :)

No worries mate.

It is the same livery except that the engine covers were also painted to match to the fuselage on the OJB version. It was decided that it was too difficult to maintain a special set of spares for only one plane in fleet of only 6 with the same engine type, so thats why OEJ has the same grey covers as the other ERs ;)

was there ever a time that both were painted in the Wunala colours at the same time? And does anyone know of any photos with them both together?

No OEJ & OJB were never in those colours at the same time.

The other ERs have white engine cowls!
