    The green colour is a protective coating applied to the aircraft to stop the aluminum from being oxidized.
    Before the aircraft is painted they wash the protective coating off then buff the fuselage to make the surface rough which helps the paint to stay on the fuselage, this procedure has to be done in a certain time frame otherwise the aluminum will start to oxidize & turn black in colour.
    Definition of oxidized - combined with or having undergone a chemical reaction with oxygen;
    Aluminum Uses:
    As a result of its low density, low cost, and corrosion resistance, aluminum is widely used around the world.
    It is used in an extensive range of products from drinks cans to window frames and boats to aircraft. A Boeing 747-400 contains 147,000 pounds (66,150 kg) of high-strength aluminum.
    Unlike some metals, aluminum has no aroma - hence its widespread use in food packaging and cooking pots.
    Although not quite as good as silver or copper, aluminum is an excellent electrical conductor. It is also considerably cheaper and lighter than these metals, so it is used widely in overhead power lines
    Subject to change it should be in Oslo on 6th April ?
