As many have seen from the Master Keith , VH-FGB has been given a stunning 90th Anniversary livery celebrating 90 years since the first Trans Pacific flight

Managed finally a ok shot of her during some part of sunshine today at Norwich as the week been fog bound all round

Cheers James

well the first shot was the first day of sunshine after the fog, and having a F70 next to her was bit hard to get that shot so grab what could, i could remove the stand 7 sign i guess but it get what can when can

then they moved the 70 next day and still sunshine so thanks for the comments
she since moved back into we assume KLM hangar so awaiting departure south at some point

After a couple of months at Norwich FGB finally departs on a nice early misty Sunday morning, excuses the light on some but it was not that great
she departed to Turkey Trabazon and i would guess on South after that, closing the chapter on this aircraft and her visit to Norwich, techincally the last special livery of 2017 and one would say the first for 2018, who knows she may return for maintenance one day, now that KLM are registered to service Aussie aircraft at Norwich.
