hi matthew,
i have found this website for you regarding some informative information.
also, i was going through some picture on the net and i have found that the 06/07 season was a First Choice Boeing 757, G-OOBA
and the 08/09 season will also be a 757 G-MONJ under Monarch Airlines

from the information on the site i think they all depart from Australia (sydney) but only two are on a private 757, the rest are on a normal schedule QF flight.

Wonders of Asia & Africa- departs Sydney 31 January 2009 and also 20 Feb 2009
Equatorial Explorer- departs Sydney 11 March 2009

i also believe QANTAS was also apart of this charter, flying a 747.
it would be great if someone could post some pics of the QF jet.

hope this was helpful matthew

Thanks alot Joseph that is exactly what I was after. I saw G-OOBA when it came out in the First Choice livery and I would love to see Monarchs one.

Thanks again, much appreciated
