So by my count that's three 333's repainted in the new 'silveroo' colours now; H, I & J.
I wonder what will be next up? Presumably they'll start on the 738s still wearing the old 1984 colours.

VH-EBQ has been in the hanger at BNE now since 12 January. Is this just a "C" check or as Dave C mentioned in his post on 9 December the possible start of a new "sub class" for routes that need a real tech crew rest and extra toilet and larger galley? EBG & L seem to be a fixture on Beijing on alternate days and some days on the late SIN service, but not every day. Either could do a domestic instead of SIN. I guess it is a possibility that Q could go to SIN for a repaint after the current work is done.

after a 3 hour approximately test flight yesterday, the graph looked like a ball of string in knots, EBQ goes back into service today on QF51 BNE/SIN. It's place in the hanger appears to have been taken by QPC

Has anyone heard what is happening with EBG & EBL & whether they will get a refurb soon? EBG is currently operating QF29 to HKG........feel sorry for those passengers getting an older generation product when the route is meant to be operated by a refurbed A333.

I suspect if they were going to get the refurb it would have happened in the last few months, instead I reckon they are just flying out their leases. Qantas did confirm in the results announcement that the refurb program was complete.
