Default JQ A320 White Nose Radome

A JQ A320 was sighted in Sydney & Launceston with a white nose radome but I had trouble trying to read registration which could be VH-VFD? Can anyone please confirm? Thanks

How long has it had a white nose ?

It was in Newcastle for maintenance in Nov 2016

May of been the reason why it went tech previously ?

ie: Birdstrike

Also curious about where the white radome came from?

New or borrowed from someone

Isn't jet* the only A320 operatorin Oz which doesn't use a white radome? Tiger or AirNZ likely candidates
