VH-HYL

[Sopwith Pup]

I was in MEL today and saw a white tail A320 (HYL) depart and then land about half an hour later, can anyone shed some light on what is happening?

[topend3]

any of the ex AN aircraft that are being returned to the lessors will be test flown prior to their return delivery flight, i would say that is what was happening.

Heard a rumour that HYL was due through Perth in the next few days on the way to Germany so I guess topend3 is correct.
