QANTAS has scheduled OQJ to reposition to LHR from DRS this Saturday with another A380 (ex QF1) as replacement. We shall see if this swap takes place as scheduled or is postponed.

Thanks for the information, Fred. OQH arrived this morning as QF2 and should therefore depart as QF1 this afternoon, which will work nicely with the swap with OQJ tomorrow in LHR.

Checking this morning OQJ is now scheduled to depart DRS five hours later than originally scheduled, as is OQH departing LHR for DRS, but this shouldn't affect the swap happening. Also, OQB is operating the QF63 to JNB this morning so all looks good for OQH as long as OQJs maintenance is completed.

Do you know if they are doing main gear changes in DRS on these A380s?
