Spotted THIS (http://www.airliners.net/open.file/581264/M/) at my home port this morning on my way to work.


It's still got the AV8 registration, so I presume this is the short term lease mentioned in another thread.

We didn't have time for a full respray, and as this aircraft is for a short-term lease we went for a white aircraft with decals. A longer term lease aircraft will be forthcoming over the next few months to replce VB, which will return to AV8.
