Over a year ago now REX took delivery of a SAAB, VH-ZPO, anyone know what’s happened to that? Is it a parts ship or just yet to be placed in service?

8KH is scheduled to enter service tonight (15/08) as ZL367 from BNE to SYD

ZPO doesn’t appear on Rex’s flows at all. Have a feeling she’s just been used for parts
