Another rarebird !  Until recently I didn't know AIR MAURITIUS operated the -420 .... obviously a BRITISH AIRWAYS lease. Mark C AKL/NZ |

Gus the two names you mentioned on the 420 and 320b do not correspond with the titles on the nose of the aircraft, I got these from pictures of the actual aircraft so I know they were right when the photo's were taken |

Hello Tony, Little confusion here In my request post I give only one "nose" name: City of Port LouisThe second name you see in my first answer in this post "Paille en Queue" ..is the name given by the mauritian peoples for the company Air Mauritius.... Sometime the name it also the MK carrier ... Now ...I'm not sure at all ...but maybe they named one of their A340 as "Paille en Queue" More infos: The Paille en Queue is a endemic bird of the island ... (mountain bird) and this is also the tail logo of Air Mauritius ...so far. Hope it made sens Regards. |
