Withdrawn from use by Austrian Airlines in 2016 as OE-LVG, this F100 was registered to Alliance in May 2019, using the registration of another of the type which became VH-FGB. This super scheme was applied at Norwich in January 2020 to commemorative Sir Charles Kingsford Smith's attempted record-breaking flight from Australia to England in September 1931 flying an Avro Avian registered VH-UQG (see photo #500287). My wife and I were about to board the aircraft when this shot was taken, enjoying seats 1A & B for a flight to Uluru (Ayers Rock).
