EHEH F-27 gateguard question

BOEING7E7 · Post by **BOEING7E7** » 21 Jul 2013, 17:29

Afternoon,

Does someone know when F-27 with (original) registration C-12 was repainted
with (fake) C-8 registration and when it was placed at the spot it currently is.

Thanks in advance!

On 30-6-2003 I saw the original C-8 still at the gate and the C-12 for the first time in fake colors at apron West at the same day. They must have switched places sometime after that. I even saw a picture once of both aircraft in "C-8" F27 Display colors parked next to each other on the grass of the gliderstrip, which is nearby the main gate. That must have been the very week of the swapping of places. I don't know who took that photo, but I'll try to research and see if I can find out more.

In my database I have 28-08-2003 as the date they've been switched...

Hi,
28th August is indeed the correct date when the swap took place. The right F27 is the real one. The left is the current gateguard. She has been repainted at Eindhoven. The only difference is "F27 Display" behind the cockpit.
