Very nice, are these the ones for Emerald Air ?

Yes I believe they are Paul! I’m not sure if anymore are due but just the 3 for a minute.

Thanks for the great post, awesome photos. I have been with Virgin Australia for nearly 18 years and as you will know we have been through a bit of rough patch the last 2 years but the future is looking great. I am really glad these have found a new home and I will follow their life as they take to the skies again

Thanks Shaun! Sorry to hear it’s been a rough few years but I’m glad to future is looking better because Australia can’t just be left with one major airline! These will be seen all over the UK and Ireland so it’ll be easy to keep following them
