Cheers for that Sarah, I tracked it as It climbed out, unfortunately I wasn't aware of it at the time and got the shock of my life. So disappointed I wasn't able to spot the "other" of the ME3.

QLink Q400 VH-QOH ('Pinky') scheduled for a test flight at TMW lunchtime today, after being in Mx since early December. This should mean -LQG (currently scheduled for TMW-SYD-DBO-SYD for this morning) will change places with QOH later today...??? In theory anyway!ImageUploadedByTapatalk1421957797.879936.jpg
