Nice catch Andy, I didn't realise that any of easyJet's A320s were going to Allegiant, any idea if any others are going?

[andygolfer]

don't know Mike, I was surprised when it turned up in the Allegiant colours although it was an unusual EZY flight number (9003). Allegiant bought several ex EZY A319s a few years back so possibly. It had been stored since March2020

Martin highlighted it on the Stansted google group as it was on it's way but I was in the middle of a field at the time so didn't take much notice at the time. It came in from East Midlands but don't know if that's where it was painted, I assume so but Martin might know more.

Thanks for that, EZY flight numbers that are 4 digits and start with '90' are ferry flights. Seems like it's been stored in a few different places as Jethro's has the following notes for it :-
LGW - LTN 29 May 20
LTN - MAN 25 Jun 20
MAN - LTN 15 Sep 20
LTN - SEN 12 Oct 20
SEN - Madrid 30 Oct 20
Madrid - LPL 20 Jul 21
LPL - EMA 30 Jul 21

Looks like it was resprayed at EMA during the last few days and will be delivered to Allegiant shortly.

thanks Mike, I couldn't find the storage locations - I must try Jethro's in future!

Will it be delivered with or without the pigeon?
