Post by: Glynnyboy on May 19, 2013, 09:01 PM: didn't realise they did them in orange,blue & pink.
I was thinking recently it would be nice to see one in orange, i had been looking through the skyway photo's in the museum on here and copped for the morice meyer orange beat with the decals a little similar to the TA at the time.
