Anyone notice what's odd about it ? :think:

Hi Garry

Not seen Red wings on an AB before

Very odd

Exactly mate :shock:

She was delivered to them in BEA basic as was EJ and ET but for some reason retains her red BEA wings.

Looks like she has had some use like that as well.

1983 is 3 years into ABC although she was stored and leased out and stored again during that time.

PK-MVJ (G-APEF) was sold and leased to Merpati in full MNA livery but also retained the red wings probably to save cost.

That I found our after I did the MNA paint of it
