REFURBISHMENT OF 9Q-CLK

(formerly VH-EBG)

 

The former VH-EBG, now registered in the Democratic Republic of the Congo as 9Q-CLK, arrived at FAAircraft Interiors and Exteriors (Pty) Ltd at Lanseria, South Africa on 20 August 2007 for interior refurbishment. Lumain van Vuuren, General Manager Admin of FAAircraft, advises that their staff worked around the clock for three weeks on the project. The owner had requested that the aircraft be given a distinctive African theme. When the aircraft arrived, the cabin was finished in white vinyl and brown fabrics. The roof-lining was replaced with light cream suede, the bulkhead panels were given a snakeskin finish and the seats were recovered in pleated leather. The beige carpet was replaced with dark blue wool carpet and the interior refurbished in two tones of beige. The original gold coloured curtains were replaced with African themed fabrics. Metal fittings in the bathroom were gold-plated. The refurbishment was completed on 25 September 2007. The following images are courtesy of FAAircraft. (All images are linked to larger versions)
