Default The Kings's arrival

Is he coming via RAAF Airways or RAF Airways? Any details of his arrival in Sydney or Canberra ?

I did see that there are 2 flights currently enroute from Singapore which may be them:

ASY352 BBJ (A62-002) along side ASY746 332 (A39-001) heading south towards eastern Australia.

If you notice ASY 352has a slightly different flightpath to the rest of the aircraft around it. From memory. The monarch uses a special fly path that nobody else can use. It’s called the purple line or something.

It’s on the same path as the MRTT preceding it and in fact same altitude, with lateral separation, the two aircraft did leave from different airports to begin with.

Guessing the King is in ASY352 and the press/other travellers are in ASY746.

Thank you. I should’ve specified commercial aircraft are on a different flightpath compared to these two. I’m purely going by memory and the fact that the Royals do have a dedicated flightpath compared to others.
