Just noticed that.
Is this a result of having 4 388s back in operation (VH-OQD thru VH-OQG) or due to clearing backlog to LHR?

Qantas to return more A380s to service
Published 12:00 PM, 22 Dec 2010 Last update 4:51 PM, 22 Dec 2010
QUICK SUMMARY | FULL STORY

Reuters

Qantas Airways Ltd said it will have five Airbus A380 aircraft in service by the end of the week as it prepares to handle peak traffic at the start of the southern hemisphere holiday season.

Qantas was forced to ground its six superjumbo aircraft after a Rolls-Royce engine on one of its A380s partly disintegrated mid-flight last month, forcing an emerging landing.

Qantas will have four of its older A380s in service this week and it will also add a new A380 to the fleet. It added that another new A380 is expected to arrive in January.

One of its older A380s remains under inspection while the A380 involved in November incident is being repaired.

At the market close shares in Qantas were down 0.38 per cent to $2.58 against a flat benchmark index.

VH-OQA - in SIN, awaiting repair
VH-OQB - in FRA, awaiting replacement engines
VH-OQC - in SYD, awaiting replacement engines
VH-OQD - in service since 16 Dec
VH-OQE - in service since 30 Nov
VH-OQF - in service since 27 Nov
VH-OQG - in service since 20 Dec
VH-OQH - Toulouse, awaiting QF acceptance

So which ones coming back? OQB or OQC? (wouldn't OQC be heading for its C check soon anyway?)

I have heard that OQH is a bit of a problem child, but don't know any specifics.

Maybe the engines got stolen for OQB while it was in FRA.

I hope the aeroplane is called the Sir Reginald Ansett
