Why the sad face Wirraway?

You will go into deppression when you hear Virgin are planning on 46 NG's by the end of March next year! (I think there is 32 at present)

That should put a smile on a few peoples faces.

The sad face was because I could not get the link to work
for the photo when I first posted, then afterwards figured
out to link to the Airliners net thread instead.

Happy now, as I finally have worked out where I went wrong,
and can now link direct to the photo.

Another interesting photo at A.net is from the Paine Field (Boeing plant) which shows VH-OEJ in all red before it gets it's Wanula
scheme can be found here:
