G-ZAPW Royal Mail?

Aah yes, -ZAPV – the flying postbox! It can also be seen in EMA every Sunday night, except preceding bank holidays.

Good one Nimrod! Guess apologies are in order, my flight must have been too early in the morning, ZAPV is red, ZAPW is Titan.:o

Are you sure it was ZAPW as I understood that as its occasionally used for passenger charters when Royal mail colours wouldn’t be appropriate ? My brother said he saw ZAPW only a week or so ago and it was in normal Titan colours.

There is a rumour at Stansted about ZAPV that is probably rubbish, but worth repeating as I don’t believe in letting the truth get in the way of a funny yarn. :rolleyes: Anyone who has seen ZAPV may have noticed that its colour is a little lighter than the normal post office red. Gossip has it that the plane was sent to Belgium for repainting with instructions to paint it ‘Post Office red’. This they duly did…………………………..Belgian post office red :eek::D:diablo:

G-ZAPV has been in this scheme for some time – so it appears that G-ZAPW has received the same colours(?)

Surprised that there is not one photo of it in it’s red scheme on Airliners if it has been operating for that long!:confused:

Confirmed!

Its been operating out of EDI for a few years now.

Does any one know the route of the mail run?

Acacia Avenue to the High Street and all points inbetween…:D

Don’t quote me but I believe it does a STN rotation each night, a 146 does another STN and a 146 does the BRS.

Confirmed!

Its been operating out of EDI for a few years now.
