Clarification Request For Color Of Engines of ZK-NQC Please

Postby Aharon » Tue Oct 10, 2023 12:13 pm

Shalom and greetings all my pals,

When I was studying via internet all known and existing photos of the Air New Zealand 737-200 with registration number ZK-NQC, it came to my surprise that all but four photos showed metallic silver color for engines of that particular plane and the four photos showed blue color for engines of that particular plane.

Can anyone please tell me if it is actually blue color on engines or is it just optical illusion due to age of photos and sun shade??

Here is link that shows blue color of the engines of the plane that I am hoping any of you can tell me if it is just optical illusion or real blue.

Pretty sure that's an optical illusion. Other -200s had painted nacelles but from memory, QC always had bare metal ones every time I saw it
