Could 8ZL possibly be off to Smartwings? Prague being chosen to park it makes it seem as such

Apparently RQP and REX will keep these regos when they rejoin Virgin.

Weird having REX on a Virgin jet.

VUU is available, BZG is not.

BZG "Brett's Jet" was named after Brett & Zahra Godfrey (Virgin Blue’s first CEO) and traded with the original owner of the rego for the all costs of transfer & repaint and a VA holiday.

VH-BZG was originally going to be VH-VUW, since taken by another VA 737. Interesting to note, BZG also belonged to an Ansett 767-300ER at one point as well.
