Helloha,
Noticed VH-EWR (R on the hump anyways) last week on a overnighter in Broome. Nice and white with no logo, obvious to anyone it was on the way out to England or somewhere around that way.
From what I Heard and Seen;
- It left in the morning for Darwin with no radio calls out of Broome MBZ
- Couldn't get into Darwin (not weather related)
- Came back to Broome only to visit the tower...the man in the box to explain their stealth departure (it's hard enough to keep track of the 210's there with a radio)
- Back to Darwin that evening (dunno if it made it or not)
- Couldn't refuel the night before for it was mentioned that it leaked ?! Is this normal for a 146 ?
- What's with the obvious crack on the cockpit window....and off into the blue for flight levels
One would imagine their Com's shat themselves and they tried to get into Darwin to fix them.... but didn't organise well with the local ATC
I stand to be corrected on this though....
Still, VERY SAD to see the evaporation of the leftover's the GREAT ANSETT EMPIRE
