Yes - they had a VIP dinner at the Museum last night. I believe Alan Joyce and the Governor General were there. It was VIP flight direct from SYD. It left Sydney around 11 yesterday and was due back in SYD around 4pm.

And a very pleasant evening it was too! Highlight of the evening was the unveiling of a full size replica DH50 christened by the GG.

Here are a couple of photos from last night: The GG struggling to break the champagne bottle over DH50 "Iris" ably abetted by Michael Caton and a general view of the new replica aircraft being revealed to the assembld masses.

Adam, pleased the painting made it safely to Melbourne - Enjoy.
