I think that the new SNBA colour scheme is thoroughly horrid. I much preferred the last Sabena colour scheme with the dark tail fin, dark engine cowlings etc. Give me the VLM livery anyday now, it's much better than SNBA's (with the exception of the back of the engine being painted black, that is a bit strange).

In the begining I also thought the new paint wasn't very nice. But know I must say that I like it (it looks great on the Avro's

). Maybe you should see an new livery aircraft in real, to change your mind.

I already mentioned here that I agreed with Comet, even after having seen the real new livery. Nothing can compare to the latest Sabena livery

Well, Ive got hte answer. It seems that SNBA has a lot of money to spend because they just continue to repaint the AVro's. This week it's OO-DWE's turn. What's even more striking is that OO-DWE allready had the intermediate colours. see here

Wasn't it better to keep that money, for better purposes

It means that it will not cost very much to add some light blue paint to OO-DWE.

Is SNBA planning to repaint the rest of the Avro fleet in a near future or not

I'll answer my question by myself

It's summer again and SN is indeed going to repaint some of their planes (I don't know if all will be repainted).
If you click in the following link : http://www.qaps.nl/News%20page.html you'll see that currently it's the turn of a BAe 146 to be repainted.

The plane left SPL this afternoon for the flight back to BRU.

So the spotters that where at BRU today should have seen it.

Hold on, I have contacted QAPS to provide us a log of the aircrafts that will be painted in the coming weeks.

maybe it's meant that way so we could all fondly remember our days as part of the qualifier group

happy landings

A small update:

OO-DJW has recently been repainted and OO-DJX is currently in the hangars of qaps in AMS.

Avro · Post by **Avro** » 19 Jul 2005, 21:15

Can somebody please tell us how many planes are left with the old paint scheme ?

As far as I know we only have:

OO-DWA
OO-DWB
OO-DWF
OO-DWI
OO-DWJ
OO-DJO
OO-DJZ

Which have the old scheme. But is this correct ?

And will all of them receive the new colours this summer ?
