Ah yes Paul, didn't really think about that altitude realistically as I typed it - 375 METRES is what I would have seen on PlaneFinder. And attached here is a screenshot of its path as mapped by WebTrak - and it shows an altitude of approx 370 m.

not a good video but the title made me smile
i wish it was 375ft
Not only that, one of the 'top rated comments' correcting the aircraft type says VH-OEB is a '747-400ER'

Thanks for reminding me Darren, what a beautiful aircraft the 747 is.
