The 707 will depart SYD at about 1200. But will return an hour later to SYD. It appears it will stay in SYD for the next couple of days. ie: Won't be going to MEL.

It will be arriving and departing from the GA area.

It's currently being towed to Bay 99, the same spot as the B787 was this morning.

That your 500mm lens, Kurt?

Hey Nig. Yeah mate, time to upgrade probably. It's the oldest piece in the kit.

Yes, you could say that. Having 2 kids under 2 years old means the budget priorities aren't geared towards camera stuff right now.

I can only dream.

Sorry to the Melbourne spotters, it even seemed Sydney Airport's website agreed with the info.
