Haven't seen the Air Nuigini in a 767 before, has that replaced the 757?

[Brandon Giacomin]

No it was just a one off. PX1 yesterday went POM-BNE-SYD-POM instead of POM-SYD-POM.

[Dan Hammond]

Great shots mate, The shot where you have the Question mark on the JQ A320 im positive that the rego would have been VH-VQR to clear that up for you.

[Bernie P]

Thanks Dan, I will fix up my records as all I have is part of the rego on the front gear doors. AND then it is only incomplete!!!

Glad to have caught the 'One Off' Air Nuigini 767 as well!!

[Nigel C]

One off??? :confused: All we used to see from these guys (and not that long ago either!) was the B767.

[Kieran Wells]

Hi Guys,
Apparently i have reached my limit with posting photos on here, by the look of it, so here is a link to the folder on facebook. I will be posting more as i go through the photos. The shots that are there are take upto approx 9am yesterday. I've also put one of the Etihad new rego in there.

Great Pics! One question, isn't VH-EBM their latest A330-200 as per http://www.qantas.com.au/infodetail/flying/inTheAir/ourAircraft/332-36J265Y.pdf

[Dan Hammond]

Thats correct Daniel, EBM is the latest A332 in the fleet.

It was great to catch up yesterday, my son and I had a great outing which gave mum a sleep in.

Here are a few from the load of pics I took.
