No way is the Air Finland OH-AFJ a respray, just because the a/c was inside or has been seen inside the Air Livery hangar, does it mean it has had a respray.
My guess most of what you see is decals (plastic covering) and not new paint, the flap fairings could also be decals.
You can see it has not been repainted by the dirty remains above the horizontal stabiliser.

Thanks Spotty M.Reference G-TTIC, i saw it in Lanzarote all white at least 18 months ago and flew on it yesterday.
Incidentally, presume Spotty M is Monarch.Recently flew with them, certainly gone downhill.

Its the same as all easyJet flights, but you can buy speedy boarding to get on first.
I see the 2nd Air Finland 757 has just joined the operation and is also painted up, this one looks cool as it has winglets

Sorry to dig up an old topic but there seems to be a lot of interest in these wet leased easyJet 752's and I have some first hand info. 
I flew on one on the 6th and 13th of August from Gatwick to Corfu and back.
I was on G-OJIB. After the initial excitement of remembering that it was the Iron Maiden tour plane, here is what I found:
I'm a frequent easyJet flier and their service is usually brilliant with their young Airbus 320's that have very reasonable leg room but G-OJIB had the typical 757 charter style legroom syndrome. I'm only 5ft8 and on the outbound journey I could barely squeeze MY legs in! On the way home I sat right at the back and legroom was a bit better though. The captain welcomed us with the message: 'Welcome to this easyJet flight to Corfu, operated by Astraeus'. The seats were dark blue with the typical fake leather plasticy finish and had thin, orange handkerchief looking things velcro'd on top which had pretty much all been ripped off before everyone had sat down as they couldn't even resist peoples arms rubbing on them. By the time I flew home a week later, the orange seat tops were nowhere to be seen
. This was the only attempt made by easyJet to distinguish the interior. The entry system to the plane was the same as easyJet's usual. With 'SpeedyBoarders' going first and the rest of us fighting our way through like animals hahaha.
The plane is in very bad shape interior wise and definately showing its veteran 21 yr age. There was paint falling off and scratches everywhere along the interior panels and it had those 80's style dark brown aircon panels. Also the foldaway tables were falling off their hinges etc. It just looked very old and past it.
O yeah, something interesting I noticed too was that the 'Life vest under your seat' message that you can see when the foldaway table is folded up was also in Arabic above the English, clearly from G-OJIB's days leased to Saudi Arabian Airlines last year
.
Despite G-OJIB being very old, worn and smelly inside it looked stunning in the easyJet livery and it was wonderful to fly in a 752 again after so many years. I've always loved the sound of 757 engines revving to full throttle on take off... A very raw sound

Easyjet 75s
Hi am posting for the first time though my partner is a regular.
Saw OJIB depart Gatwick yesterday - looked beautiful in the sunshine.
We were there a couple of hours, whilst walking back another EJ 757 arrived, we were too far away to see the reg. How many 75's have EJ got based at Gatwick and how long for, I would love to fly on one instead of the usual Airbus.
It was in fact a good day for me as I'm a 757 fan, saw about 6 in total, havent seen so many in one day for years.
Off topic but still on 757's, presume all BA's at Heathrow are being got rid of, saw at least 3 last week round the old Concorde hangar looking very dejected and minus decals. Anyone know whats happening to them please? I hope they arent being BU?

Does anyone know what configuration the 757s are in? A quick search I found the following but may be wrong:
G-OJIB 226Y
G-ZAPX 195Y
OH-AFI 219Y
OH-AFJ 219Y
Looks like you get a better deal legroom wise on ZAPX!
Many thanks
