Another Virgin Arrival


Virgin Australia's recently withdrawn from service ATR72-500 VH-FVM MSN 979 touched down at Nelson mid afternoon 11 September after a direct flight from Brisbane as VOZ9948. 

VH-FVM, christened "Woolamai Beach" first flew in November 2011 as F-WWEX and was delivered to Perth by Southern Cross International as SXI1160 on 02 December. It was to then very from Perth to Brisbane 07 December as VOZ9080 before entering service a couple of days later.

Presumably FVM will join VH-FVH and VH-FVL currently in open air storage at Nelson pending sale.
