The next two PC-12/47E aircraft are reported to be:- #1052, registered as HB-FRF on Aug 08, to be VH-OWQ and # 1082, registered as HB-FSK on Oct 28, to be VH-OWR. Does anyone have expected delivery dates for these aircraft? Also, when is VH-OWP due into service?

The next shiny new plane will be here mid December (Quebec). Romeo is on the board for delivery January some time.
They (the NG planes) will all be based here in Jandakot for the foreseeable future. Fitout / training / certifications ETC. Not much point is sending a plane to a base till everyone there has been trained on it.
Hope that helps

I see that HB-FSK was cancelled from the Swiss register on March 06, to be VH-OWR, delivery must be very soon. Any details?

Bravo is scheduled for September and there is another one sometime next year.
Good thing for us is some customers are canceling orders so we go up in the cue, so we get them sooner.

Yep, she's due in about 4:30 Perth time with Cpt Bleus at the pointy end.
Then it's about 6 weeks of fit out to get her opperational.
