I believe it was their first A380 delivered in September 2008 (VH-OQA) Nancy Bird Walton
Your spot on there steve.
It had it’s C Check in Germany on Sept 11 and had done 11 return trips since then.
Still no word on what caused it.
Great photos !!!
Love the Approach to London city
They are some brilliant images !
I don;t know, the 787 looks wierd to me.
The wings look very narrow and flimsy for some reason.
Great shots..where’d you take ’em from??
the first 2 were taken along foreshore drive nature reserve (eastern side of the airport, closest to 3rd runway)
the middle 6 from sheps mound under the control tower
and the last 2 from the fenceline at the beach.
The other question will be, who controls the ejections, you would want anyone going off too early !
Also consider the risk of a mid flight accident and the catastrophic decompression, hell you would not need the ejector seats then !!!!!
Some great pics there !!!
And yes the retro Thai is a beauty !
yeah Air Austral fly 2 – 3 times a week to Sydney, it is direct competition to YSSY – Noumea my Brother in law looks after in Qantas and i was also suprised that an E jet was in pac blue colours, may have been a flight to cook islands or something
Which is a suprise really given they were going to fly from Cardiff….I’d have thought there would be plenty of takers!! :dev2::diablo:
and here i was thinking that the welsh liked sheep !!!!! :p :diablo:
Their Cows for beans rewards program didn’t fly !!!!
i could not wait until wedensday !!! :p here are 2 more !!!

And yes i know it is not actually Qantas, but Jetstar is part of the Qantas group so as part of the extended family, i thought i would add it if thats ok….

great idea for the Livery, fun and light hearted !

ok here are my 2 photos. (if there are not may photos by wednesday, i will post more :p )


nice one steve, i took Yananyi Dreaming to Queenstown NZ last year.
Wunalla Dreaming is the one that is elusive for me to get !!
I think us aussies should get special dispensation for extra photos on this subject :p
