VB A330's

Well, the decals didn't last long. They're gone from the nose and engine cowlings already, so they must have been only for the film shoot they've been doing for the last couple of days. It's back to being all white.

Hmm that is a shame, I thought there may have been a chance we would see a whole livery leaked.
However with what you said, a film shoot, that would suggest that the main colour will be white rather than the old red because even if they were filming locally onto the one part of the aircraft they would want it to appear as the final livery will.

They've been filming the B737's too, so it's not just about the A330.

Had an A330 pilot paxing next to me on the flight up from MEL today (and another was in the row behind). One of the cabin crew was asking him lots of questions as we taxied out, including about the livery which he appeared to know about, but quite rightly declined to discuss (but boy I wish they'd hurry up and get it out there - there were at least three AFL logojets in MEL today and they look horrible).

I think he said they would be doing a bit of flying around Sydney today before taking it back down to MEL tonight.

She went out for a fly for about an our while doing air-to-air photos and a Learjet 35 landed shortly afterwards. It did 2 takeoffs and landings on 16R before heading off. On the second departure there was a heli flying behind and would have taken some great footage!

I am with you Rob, I cant wait to see what its going to look like!

Here she is on her third rotation today - with a 20kt headwind off RWY16R XFA was up well before 07/25.





Last seen parked in INTL Bay 5 around 18.15 this evening.

That is an awesome shot...
I'm lost for words.

So they're filming a white A330 and then in post-production will add in the livery? Seems like an awful lot of work but I suppose once they announce the livery they'll want to have lots of marketing material.

[Jakef]

That could very well be the case.
