Virgin Australia Freight - VH-SIF First Flight

BAE 146-200 VH-SIF made its first flight today under a Virgin Australia flight Code - VOZ9568 To Melbourne with a flight time of 59min.
The aircraft was parked at the DHL Facility (Bay 91?) with the rear Cargo Door open until well past its scheduled departure time of 1335L. Eventually
the door was closed, and the aircraft made a quick taxi along Golf and Bravo to the Bravo 1 Holding Point. There was a significant hold because of
arriving and departing traffic, and they finally started rolling at around 1445L.

With the cargo door being open at the Bay, it was hard to tell if this was a revenue service, or just positioning to Melbourne.
