I thought Qatar were due to start into LHR this year with their first composite carbuncle?

Is this the first scheduled B787 flight into LHR?
I believe it will be, unless any other airline is due to recieve their 787’s beforehand?
Hopefully I’ll be on the first flight to IAH on the 5th Feb…;)

When you are used to seeing long-bodied 777-300s, the 787-8 looks stumpy. In fact, at the angle in the photo it reminds me very much of it’s predecessor, the 767-200.
