Due AV8's unsuccessful AOC application, the 752 was only used for weekly pilot training around Manchester. On 4 May 2004 G-OAVB was flown to Southend for repaint to Astreaus colours. The last time I saw her in AV8 colours was during the weekend 1-2 May 2004, at that time she was parked up to the North of Terminal 2 (today's temporary car park area).
