Nice to see the new livery - Epic ferry flight (should have mentioned how long it took). Would have liked to have been the ferry pilot.

The livery looks really good. I know what you mean about being the ferry pilot. It would be interesting. some of the days were very long though. Not sure if you’re on any Facebook groups where it has been posted and discussed but some of the photos the pilot took were stunning.
