The paint stripper has been applied in TQV.

Reportedly coming back in normal Silveroo livery.

Pics and info per this FB thread.

VH-VXQ is one of the older Qantas 737s being delivered in June 2003 (but VXA-VXP are up to 18 months older) and was repainted in November 2015 to celebrate Qantas 95th year in the 707 livery.

The other Retro Roo "James Strong" VH-XZP in the ochre livery was delivery in November 2014 in that livery and is the youngest 737 in the fleet.

Quite possibly VXQ might regain its original "Redland" name

I spotted this plane in Melbourne two weeks ago. Didn't realise it was about to be repainted!
