Nice work Gareth. Fast too. Posted only and ready for us to enjoy only 30 minutes after landing (according to the Airport Internationals Arrivals page)

Great work, Gareth!
 

You certainly get the prize for the first to post, and an excellent shot too, Gareth.

VH-OQD just departed SYD at 1645 as QF31. First revenue flight

Sorry Chris, 9V-SKI has been darkening our skies since 16 July according to my log.

Wow nice shots Chris, It was up very early!!

I was going to say the same thing. Quite a contrast to yesterday's 31 which didn't rotate unitl 07/25. Must've been windy today

Nice afternoon out there yesterday. Managed to go over to the fence line for a while, and got some nice photos(9V-SKI) and then went back to the carpark to get photos of Fergus. I've put 60 photos from yesterday including the Thai and BA pilots waving at us at the fenceline up:

Here is Qantas's 6th A380 (MSN029) in outfitting in Hamburg. She will be delivered in October.

Deferred delivery?
 

The website refers to May 2010 deferred delivery of two A380 a/c for QF - if they're so much more efficient to operate, doesn't it make sense to take them as soon as they can be delivered?

A Prius is cheaper to run than a Falcondore... but that doesn't mean people should be rushing out to buy a Prius...
