I was driving on Cleveland street heading from the Moore Park area to Sydney Uni, and I was quite surprised to see a QF 744 on approach to 16R so late. I looked at the dashboard clock and the time was 11:58pm. I was 100% the time was accurate as I checked my watch as well.

I think they wouldve just beaten the curfew by a matter of seconds. If not I don't know if they would have enough fuel to divert, esp if they had to cruise at a higher CI to make up for lost time or just to make the curfew.
