A380 underbelly advertising

Note sure if this belongs here on in Technical Discussion, so mods please feel free to move if necessary.

I noticed a photo this morning on Airliners.net of VH-OQB (A380-800) with a "7mate We just love footy" decal on the underbelly. Since when did QF start allowing advertising on its a/c?

This is the first time i've seen advertising on an A380.

What about Channel 9 - great op to advertise Underbelly!

[Darren Butterworth]

nice one Phillip, but that's just under the belt.....

Thanks Andrew. Maybe we might see more of the like at other big events when QF do flyovers perhaps.

QF have used planes before for advertising.....there was a special F1 theme livery a while back advertising the Grand Prix.

I flew back on that plane from London a few years ago, it looked awesome. Anyone got a picture of it? :)

Thats it Sarah - many thanks! :)
I remember for some reason we were bused out to it at Heathrow, and walked across the tarmac to board, so had a great view of the plane.
