I think Ida Down is confused with his history and is referring to what was VH-EEI, a 747-100 ex Highland Express. It carried FJ livery as VH-EEI
There were a couple of Aer Lingus 747-100 leased in around the time that QF also had the Tower Air 747 N93117 and the Martinair DC-10 PH-MBT. The rego EI-BED springs to mind but I think there were several aircraft involved in the lease.
VH-EEI was a real dog and I seem to recall the Fiji Prime Minister getting involved and asking for another aeroplane.
