Fokker F-28/100 x 2 at Farnborough

Does anyone know the identity of the two F-28s/F100s that were parked at Farnborough yesterday? I spotted them as I was driving along the Farnborough Road yesterday afternoon (Saturday 23 July).

There were 3 there last time I looked: G-MABH, G-MAMH-, and G-FMAH. All 3 owned by ARAVCO, supposedly for a Canadian venture called "Platinum Air Charter" which never got off the ground. Those 3 Fokkers have been in rotating storage here, in Calgary, and in the Netherlands for the last few years.

ARAVCO are based at Farnborough so guess they have a deal with TAG.

2 of them sat at Farnborough in US Airways colours a few years ago for long periods of time too.

I was driving at the time so I couldn't look to intensely at the airfield. I might have another look today to se if they are still there.
