Posted in corporate movements, but new Falcon 2000LX arrived this afternoon, replacing F-GZLX (which was under loan whilst old frame was out of service). New frame carries old rego which was under hold, VH-WIO and carries a slightly revised scheme (gold swirl removed)

The original VH-WIO for comparison.

Great, thanks for the post and photos. What happened to the "other VH-WIO"? Do you know which frame was on display at Avalon last year?

Bernie P · #9 20th May 2014, 11:17 AM

Ummm.... Suffice to say it went for a check, and had an 'incident'.... Thus a new frame was needed...

Mods have since been made to old frame, reregistered and is now in China...
