Aircraft over Brisbane

[Andrew S]

At 3:20 pm today a 747 departed YBBN and flew directly over head Brisbane City, I couldn't see any decals on it but the rear of the fuselage had some broad colour bands of purple, red, and grey (i think).

It looked similar to the Colours of Asiana but I didn't think Asiana flew 747's into Australia.

Does anyone know what airline this aircraft was ?

Would that be it?

Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding we have a winner. Thanks Rhys. Must have been a diversion from SYD, allthough bit unusual that it departed so late. Anyone know the reason ?

Crew over time maybe ?

It was actually a Malaysian 744 operating the delayed MAS140 to KUL from the night before.
