Could make for some interesting backpack charter opportunities filling seats between Oz and Europe....wonder how many fuel stops the little Fokker needs between Brisbane and Bratislava? Around 15 years ago they were passing hands for about $1m. Friends who flew them were overall positive, but they were pretty heavy on maintenance. I suspect a lot of these ones will be used for spares. Not ideal in winter weather either which is another reason Oz is a good place for them.
