Thank you for the pics!

The funny thing is I flew on a Qantas 738 to Hamilton Island a few days ago - it was VH-VXC - I kept looking at the overhead bins wondering why the aircraft had a sky interior feel about it - so that explains the modern spacious feel VXC had. Very nice aircraft and considering it's age of 14.

Thanks again.

Damn, I was hoping they would get rid of those overhaed lockers during the refurb and go back to standard ones.

VYD is back in service, VZA appears to have entered the hanger in SYD rather than VYK

I flew on VH-VXE on the 4th (first flight back in service) and it had a faulty auto-throttle system causing the flight to return to the gate after taxiing out. It was about 1hr late departing Brisbane after engineers came on board and physically disconnected it.
