If it's the first one it should be c/n 747 (EC-333 from memory)

Hi Peter

I don't think it's the first one which may still be in Europe undergoing flight testing and AAR certification.

I think the one in Brisbane may be c/n 0951 which arrived early in June 2008 for installation of various systems.

BTW, the first A330MRTT/KC30B for the Royal Air Force is not too far away from roll out.

Speaking of the KC30B, does anyone know if the Government still has a requirement for 1 or 2 VIP configured A330s ?

Would they be in addition to the five already on order or perhaps one or two may be coverted into the dual purpose tanker/VIP transport role ?
