You're probably right, it was only because I was up in Manchester a couple of times last month and remember seeing 742's on both occasions in 'what looked like' full VS colours, I think one had the VS reg G-V something or other, anyway it stuck in my mind because I thought the 742's were all basking in the sun somewhere, I'd have thought AAI would have needed to do a re-paint. Anyway I'm only splitting hairs I guess.
