Was driving along qantas drive this afternoon on the way to Sheps mound and the old ATC to do some spotting, and came across 2 planes i have never seen before, and they didn't have titles. Obviously, i wasn't able to stop so i'll try and describe them.
The first ones tail was all blue and had stars almost in the form of the EU flag on it in a lighter blue. The body was all white. This was parked with the BA 777 and 744.
The second one was just a bit further round near the qantas hangar and was all white. the tail was white and had some blue insignia on it. From a glance it looked more like a "aquarian" star sign symbol??? Didn't see a flag or rego on it..

First one is ex Air Luxor A330 CS-TMT now used by Strategic Air for aussie govt charter.

Second one might be the E190 doing the Air Niugini stuff?

Hi Kieran,
The second is 737-BBJ2 VP-CSK, belonging to Nigel's favourite Sultan Alco-Beer.
Cheers

Nice Pics, glad you had a great day. If you come early PM these days you can get a pohot of the SQ A380 tacking off.
