Default QF5 Tracking Along Persian Gulf

Just watching QF5 on Flightradar24, VH-OJP heading 303deg at 36000ft and 828kph over the Persian Gulf north of Doha. I have been on this flight many time, but never seen a track so far south.

Just noticed that QF9 VH-OQF is taking the same track this morning. They are heading 298deg at 38000ft and 824kph, currently northeast of Doha.

Which program are you tracing QF5 on Grahame? My parents are on QF6 now and have been trying to look for it on Planeplotter but no luck?

http://www.flightradar24.com is the website. Great website of live tracking and it's free. Has very coverage over Europe.

I use this website all the time and at the moment am tracking QF5 and QF9. Here are a couple of screen shots I have just taken.
