QF on white tails....
At BNE on Monday night & saw a "white tail" 744 with Qantas painted on the cabin & standard QF markings on engines.
Hull was white with dark blue underbody & engine nacelles. Tail had been yellow/blue/white, going by bits remaining on the tail. I presume that this bird is ex-BA? |
Is it this one?

That's the one I saw over my place on Monday night.

I saw this Bird this afternoon (21 December)parked at the SYD Qantas Maintenance Hangar. Maybe it was there to have the tail painted?
