Norwich pulled out another special livery when Alliance Fokker 70 VH-QQW rolled out today in a special livery to commemorate the first aerial flight from England to Australia 12th November 1919 - 10th December undertaken in a Vickers Vimy

You certainly get some interesting paint jobs through Norwich. I enjoy your regular updates.
This one is a bit drab for me, lacking colour, but probably meant to be sympathetic to the time period.
Still a nice catch.

Well sometimes Norwich pulls out a good one but not often enough, we back to repainting Lufthansa A319s again so back to normal there
Yea flying down under in a Vimy would not be very comfortable i see very soon it be Non stop , Qantas have started test fligths
