Looking forward to your report Dale!
I hope the last flight to Australia is not 9V-SPP for the Singapore B744. I'd personally like it to be 9V-SPJ that does the last flight here, but I expect its the one out of the last three due for retirement this month. It's quite a nice coincidence that the last 3 have all 3 different variations of the livery!
I too am considering going to Melbourne for the last flight as it is definately the end of an era!
