Virgin ATR's at Nelson today.

Lord Nelson snapped these two GIE Avions De Transport Regional ATR72-212A's at Nelson today.
 Above is VH-FVH (c/n 954) which was registered to Aviation Airframe Holding Pte Ltd of Singapore on 11-08-2011 and is operated by Virgin Australia Airlines Pty Ltd.
I believe it arrived at the ANZ Regional Maintenance facility at Nelson on 16-06-2017.
Also on site was VH-FVL (c/n 974) which was registered, as above, on 14-09-2011.
Flight Radar 24 tells me it arrived at Nelson from Brisbane on 18-07-2017 for maintenance.

  1. The news out of Australia is that these ATRs have left the Virgin fleet for post-lease maintenance before they're off to new operators.
