Maintenance departures

This week has seen two of the longer term maintenance residents depart Shannon.
Yesterday saw 5R-MFF B767-3S1 msn 25221 finally depart Shannon on delivery to TAM. 
The aircraft in full TAM colours departed in the Madagascar registration. 
The aircraft had been in Shannon since July 14 when it arrived from Filton.
Today saw N349FD B737-8GJ msn 34955 depart Shannon for Ankara. The aircraft registered to Wells Fargo Bank Northwest NA was incorrectly marked as N249FD for one week between September 22 and 29 after it emerged  from the Lufthansa paint hangar in an all white scheme. The aircraft was originally delivered to SpiceJet through Shannon as VT-SGA earlier this year. It arrived back in Shannon on September 3 in full SpiceJet colours on lessor return.
Pictured is N349FD taxiing for departure off Runway 24 this lunchtime.
