Having just had a very close look at that shot in PS I can’t see any evidence whatsoever it’s a fake or anything that even hints it might be. Even the lighting and shadows are perfectly consistant on him and throughout the rest of the frame. It’s either real or someone’s spent an unbelievable amount of time on it.

its real.. half of the Indian media outlets wouldn’t have reported it if it was fake.

Do you think Indian Airlines are the forerunner to Kingfisher also applying for traffic rights to either Sydney or Melbourne?

Both airlines, if opertaing in Australia will make good money. I also think passengers would prefer to have direct flights from India to Aus. Qantas into Mumbai seems to be making money from there route. The only attraction to passengers via Singapore etc. is that many passengers, mostly students, have not seen those countries and usually stop on there way to Australia.

I am still surprised 9W has not been so keen on Aus routes.
