More 146 action, ZS-SBR BAe 146-300 departed on what I believe was the first flight in quite some time after storage at Lanseria. Is reportedly to follow ZS-SOR to Air Annobon, so possibly went to Rand for paint like ZS-SOR (The Naked Lady) did. Seemed there was a bit of an issue with the right main gear, as it didn't retract.

And proof she did fly :D

It does, ZS-OEN was cn 120.200 and had '200' on nose wheel doors, so C9-AUU is ex ZS-OEN :D
