VH-UQG becomes VH-FGB Alliance Airways logo jet !
It's complicated ... but this ex Austrian Arrows F100, formerly OE-LVC, arrived at Norwich in October 2017 as VH-UQG for some TLC with KLM engineering ... has since been through the spray shop and emerged yesterday evening as VH-FGB an Alliance Airways logo jet celebrating the 90th anniversary of the first trans pacific flight .... A few photos ...

Very nice shots Keith!!
More lively than the Austrian livery shame it's Australian based not something we are going to see over here regularly, jealous as always
