Thanks for the Virgin registration details, Tristan.

Do you mean that you have seen pictures of FVX in Hevilift livery? FVL was the ATR where there was talk of it being scrapped and it looked as though it was missing many pieces a few months ago.

FVL, .. yeah, was that one ... Which was in fact just under maintenance.

Blocks of regos are scarce now, they just have to take what they can get

As pointed out at the time engines are the first to go in a scrapping, and she had hers, bloggers are usually a good source of misinformation if it’s not sourced from a press release.

Did a replacement B738 fly to XSP for maintenance to replace YIS? I see that VON is continuing to receive maintenance there.
