New services for the 5th and 6th A380 are as follows.
QF A380 MEL/LHR QANTAS has today announced it will launch A380 services between Melbourne and London, via Singapore from 18 Jan following the arrival of its fifth superjumbo (TD yesterday) and the delivery of its sixth in coming days. QF will operate up to 2 flights per week with the A380 to London on QF9 on Mon and Sun, and QF10 on Fri and Sat. When the sixth Airbus A380 comes online Qantas will ramp up superjumbo services from 29 Mar as follows: Sydney-Los Angeles will operate daily (up from the current 4 p/w); Sydney-Singapore- London will be 5 p/w; Melbourne-Los Angeles will increase to thrice weekly (up from twice weekly) and MEL-SIN-LHR twice weekly. The 5th A380 has been named Lawerence Hargrave and the 6th has been dubbed Charles Kingsford Smith. source : travel daily

Quote:
With the 2 new MEL-SIN-LHR return services SIN-LHR-SIN will actually become daily. 5x QF31/32 and 2x QF9/10.

As QF009 departs at 17:05 this is 5 mins after SQ228. So easily could be one after the other.

I take QF9/ 10 to MEL-SIN and v.v. a couple of times a year and QF10 is usually full about 4 weeks in advance on a Friday night, while QF9 also seems to go out near full. So I don't think the SQ A380 has that much to do with MEL getting the QF A380 but more QF needs the additional seats.

Might be getting ahead of ourselves, do we know when the 7th is due, given there is only three or four I think to be delivered next year. I heard it was not for some time another 6 months time.
I think this is MSN047 which has been completed long ago but was covered in primer, engines removed some time ago.
