Trying to bring a little colour into these grey days ! Today this Gulfstream left us, after a, very long, 23 day stay in spray shop 3 ? In the same colour scheme it arrived in ?? but very shiney ??


To be replaced in spray 3 by this, which sneaked in without my seeing it untill it was being prepaired to enter spray !

And a few of the diverse visitors,and some locals, from the last few days 🙂

And why the same livery…surely aircraft go in for a new paintjob, or am I missing the point here?:confused:
all of the UAE official aircraft are immaculate so it seems logical to me that they would want to repaint them from time to time

Phew ! So glad you found that ?? I was going to tell you …. Honest ??
I saw this on that famous website ….. “We have photos of every aircraft in the world .. except the one you have just sent us “
Have a nice time Newforest 🙂

I’ve been hanging on to solve the Air Mandalay problem but that will have to wait now! 😉
The problem is solved, I am free to go, latest Air Mandalay plane c/n 467, ex EI-CMJ is now XY-AIR, patience is rewarded. 😀

cloud 9. Thanks for your input, we have noticed that the majority of biz jet size aircraft seem to take a lot longer than much larger airliners ? one school of thought is that there maybe interior works done at the same time ?? As for the same colour scheme ? well this is also not unusual, this is the second consecutive UAE Gulfstream to have a ‘same as’ respray in a few weeks, the last to leave, which I missed at both ends 😡 was a Wizz A320 which also went home with the same scheme ???
Tonight another Bae146 / RJ85 / 100 from Brussels slipped into spray 2 !

23 days…:eek:…why so long for what is a relatively small aircraft by comparison to some of the stuff I have seen going in and coming out of there (thanks to your photos!;)).
And why the same livery…surely aircraft go in for a new paintjob, or am I missing the point here?:confused:

Weather wise probably! Be difficult enough for me getting internet access ‘on the road’ without the additional complication of downloading photos, we’ll see. 😉

Quicker than a spray job! I’m off to Arizona for three months to avoid this winter. I’ve been hanging on to solve the Air Mandalay problem but that will have to wait now! 😉 (Will still be checking in as much as possible:) )
