Afternoon arrival - Sharp Airlines flight 496 from Beverley (mining town) about to land on Rw 05. At the time of writing, there may have been some shuffling of aircraft used by Sharp Airlines. Of note is that no Sharp Airlines liveried Metros have been based in Adelaide for a time. Currently noted are two in the livery shown in the photo, the other VH-SRQ. Maroon tailed VH-OYN may no longer be based Adelaide, while similar liveried VH-OYB was recorded as still in Adelaide.
