Word along the grapevine is that two 737's are leaving the fleet in August.

Wouldn't be surprised if it were the two remaining 737-700's - VBY & VBZ.

VH-YFL landed in CHC about an hour ago after ferrying CBR-CHC as VA9948 presumably for maintenance.

VH-VUU entered back into service this morning after a repaint in Townsville as VA362

VH-VOS replaced VH-VUU in the hangar for repainting last night after operating VA383 from Brisbane

You may be in luck

VH-VUM Has had her Live2air satellite bubble removed after spending 8 days in the Brisbane hangar. Virgin usually remove this bubble before repainting their Virgin Blue coloured planes. (VH-VOS also had her bubble removed before being repainted quite soon after)

I believe that VH-VOK has also had its satellite bubble removed after arriving back in Melbourne from Chirstchurch as VA9949 today after spending 3 weeks in NZ.

VH-VOS is heading back down from Townsville now as VA362 after being repainted into the new Virgin Australia livery.

VH-VUM was taken out of service at Townsville last night after operating VA381 from Brisbane taking VH-VOS's place for repainting in the Flying Colours hangar

I also asked a photographer on Flickr if he knew the name on ZK-PBG's nose-cone and it is 'Tallows Beach' which is found near Byron Bay, NSW.
