Phil,

They are not coming via Melbourne. They are operating direct Ho chi Minh-Sydney-Ho chi Minh. Looking at the schedules another is expected tomorroe.

Back to B777's on Monday. But they may throw one in here and there.

Looks like VN-A375 is operating the flight again.

I have the c/n 366 for VN-A375 and VN-A373, anyone know the true c/n for both?

Hi Phil

Confusion reigns supreme on the net about the c/n of this airframe !! My records show c/n 366 for VN-A373 but I don't have a record of VN-A375.

So after reading your post, I did some research and posted a detailed reply hours ago but it's disappeared into cyberspace. Suffice to say there are conflicts on various database and photograph sites, but I'm 99% certain that c/n 366 refers to VN-A375 and that VN-A373 does not exist. I have changed my records accordingly based on this research.

I think the confusion may have occurred when some of the database sites MAY have picked up a possibly incorrect caption on airliners.net. A photograph of c/n 366 dated 30 May 2009 had a photo of HB-IQP and the caption read "This plane is now registered under VN-A373". So perhaps the photographer had incorrect information.

Airliners.net has seven photos of VN-A375, three of which were taken at Tullamarine in July 2010 and in each case the c/n is shown as 366.

If all this is correct, and I'm pretty sure that it is, then why has VN-A373 been skipped in the sequence of A330 registrations ?

Cheers

Bob

Morning all,

It appears that Vietnam again is an A330-200. VN-A375 again is the rego.

It is showing a B777 on the schedules for today and the rest of the week. But who knows, you may get A330's for the rest of the week.
