For what its worth, the 777 freighter has a wider main deck door.

Back when all the Trent 900's (so not EK relevant) were being inspected post -OQA incident, a number of new units arrived into Sydney for Qantas onboard 747-400 Freighters. It was extremely tight getting them out of the main deck door, just millimeters either side.

Will these freighters depart this evening? Weather is rather rubbish at the moment. Does anyone know what the second freighter is coming to.Sydney for? Horses for the races?

I would assume its in a QF hangar Nathan awaiting its new engine that should have been flown in today..... That is of course if the extra EK B77F was bringing an engine!

Cheers Jayden, Figured that could be where it's got to, given it hasn't slipped under the radar limping home on 3 engines!
