OO left fleet in spring last 737-300 OP leaves in october?? the new livery is for UK based Thomson a/c only at his time & doubt Jetair would take an old 300 as they are 700/800 operator.

Why is it that so many spotters and even professional aviation people don't seem to know the difference between hangar and hangar? I've even seen it in official NTSB publications!

He meant that the reg began with OO- like Jetairfly planes do as they are from Belgium. Sorry if I confused you and hope that sums everything up!

OO-VAC positioned EMA to Belgium this morning so this might be the one that was seen recently in the hangar.

OO-VAC has the new livery for Jetairfly. If I could make it bigger I could. Downloaded a big pic of it on Paint and tried to add it but turns out you can't.:


Please note this is not my picture and the picture can be found here:

Oh how I hate the light blue colour on the vert. stab...

It's not even the same colour as the blue used on the bodywork on the current scheme let alone the new one.

First 757 G-OOBH in New Colours
Skyliner states it was ferried BHX-NWI-BHX 1-6Nov. Is this correct? Thought it took a lot longer to fully repaint a B757! Data24 shows it routing CWL-NWI-BHX on the same dates.

Any more repainted lined up?

This is one of the nicest new liveries a British airline has introduced in decades.

I have a feeling the next one to get the new colour scheme will be the next 737 to be delivered, G-TAWK, due on 20th November at Manchester

Well dated in my opinion. Shades of BMI.

Well if its dated then bring back more of these "dated" colour schemes!

Its far better than the minimalist predominantly white paint jobs so common these days (and there wont be many who disagree its an improvement on the old Thomson cols!)
