Qf8031

[Steve Crook]

Enjoyed the sight of a Qantas A380 taking off over my house at 8pm with lights blazing. It struck me that it was an unusual hour for one of their flights to be heading out and assumed it was a late departure. A check of the Sydney Airport website showed it was QF8031 due out at 8pm to SIN-LHR but with no check-in counter information. A check of the Qantas website showed that it was a scheduled service (although it had the departure as 6pm). That flight number does not appear again in the Qantas online timetable. Does anyone have any idea about the "one off" nature of this service?
