This aircraft was delivered to Perth on 3 February 2012 registered as PH-ABX, painted all white, with no titles. Later, the Australian registration VH-FXF was taped onto the engine cowlings. The aircraft was reportedly purchased as a source of spare parts, and after engines and other parts were removed, it has been parked on the Terminal 2 apron. Makes an interesting comparison with the intact Fokker 100 in the background.
