Pretty sure I flew home on her yesterday (15/7) as QF790 (YSSY-YBAS). Had about an hour delay once boarded, sitting at the gate in YSSY as there were, according to the captain, "issues with the paperwork that need to be resolved before we are allowed to fly this 2 day old aeroplane".

Wonder what they could have been ???
