That is what I thought as well, so I guess the next question is, who has a picture of this new alternate livery?

The next two are definately going to be in the all white livery as they are awaiting the new livery.

Virgin
 
I thought all their latest additions were 737-8FEs.

Ryan they are the ones bought by DJ.This one is probably leased.

Hi Ryan

Several recent deliveries to Virgin Blue are leased aircraft as follows :

VH-VUM B737-8BK CIT Leasing
VH-VUN B737-8BK CIT Leasing
VH-VUW B737-8KG Dubai Aerospace
VH-VUY B737-8KG Dubai Aerospace

I believe that VH-VUZ will be an 8FE (ie purchased by VB) but then

VH-YFC and VH-YFE will be 81Ds, leased from AWAS and POSSIBLY delivered in the new scheme next year .

Cheers

Bob
