If it is flying a commercial flight to the US before going to Victoriaville, why does it need the best part of 3 weeks to 'prepare'? Do they strip newish parts and swap with older parts or something else?

Don't know the specifics of this one but that's usually what happens.

So what then happens with the return flight that is operated by the Aircraft that arrives as QF107? Cancelled?

The Qantassource states that QF108 on the 29th December will be flown by a A380 cancelling the QF 12 return to Sydney.

Given OJF has been listed for sale as of 16 Nov I wonder how long it will be before it heads off to join OJN at VCV?

OJF is doing to QF127/128 run as we speak so I presume it will still be utilised until its sold.

John,thanks for that. I was actually wondering where at the Jet Base it was parked in the hope for a photo. Not the best spot though...
OJN is for sale too,but I don't think anyone has purchased it, but they are still retiring her, so my bet is that OJF won't be far behind,especially now that two more A380s have been delivered.

OJG,OJH & OJJ are also for sale but they have late 2012 early 2013 available from dates.
