QF 744 With Soccer Decal

I've been out of the loop this week and am just catching up now.

At Avalon last Sunday for the DC-10 tanker farewell a QF 744 (rego EB) had, according to people there, just come out of a check and was sporting a decal promoting the soccer World Cup.

Has this been seen yet?

Decal is between doors 3 and 4 and says "Come Play" with the O a soccer ball. Other lettering was in green and there was a caption in red text on the side.

Sorry, no photos due to Avalon being Avalon.

Hi Will, OEB has been shot by Lee G in Sydney wearing the special decal, and is shown at the following topic: http://www.yssyforum.net/board/showthread.php?t=5097

Thanks, Benny! Didn't see that thread.

Looks like Qantas is ready to "unveil" the aircraft:
