What the. The paid someone way too much money for that. Rather interesting colour. Not a bad design though.

I'm just glad to see a livery that doesn't contain red for a change!

I'd say a boomerang is fairly Australian, but perhaps they're hinting that they'll always come back?

I suppose the boomerang could be interpreted as a forward facing arrow.

Would have been nice to have a bit of gold in there somewhere.

a strong green & contrasting gold would have been better with some reference to Australia on the tail.

Love it!

It's great to see something with character/personality to brighten up the sky.

But then on the other hand if I had a fleet of aircraft, one would be red, blue, yellow, purple, orange, black etc... lol.

No more of "I went on VH-VUT & VH-VUX today"... but "I went on the orange one and the blue one today"... lol.

It's great, and agree with no red or orange. Shame we probably won't see it in Sydney.

I'm with you Steve, different colours (hard with only 4 a/c). Us oldies will remember Braniff and Court Line in the 60's 70's. I would see these overfly London from home.
