I'm against putting the Roo on the tail. To do so would make it look very similar to any other Qantas B763 in the new scheme. The lack of a Roo on the tail makes this stand out.

Do we know when EFA is due?

My log shows that the ATI B762 hasn't flown since Jan 27th.

Peter the ATI 762F is grounded due corrosion i have heard.

Thanks Lloyd; I was there yesterday am but didn't see it so it may be in one of the hangars?

Saw a few pics the other day of the 763F being painted. Titles were on and tail was painted so she should not be too far away!

The last couple of days, the ATI 762F has been inside Qantas Hangar 191 (directly opposite the QF domestic boarding gates with platforms & scaffolding surrounding it.

Lastest pic I saw yesterday showed it all painted up all looks as though it was ready to go. Was photographed in front of a hanger in SIN, so guess it would come direct from there.

According to Aviation Letter, the a/c is ex ANA JA603F (33510) and is being leased to Express Freighters Australia (with Qantas colours).
They have the reg as VH-EFR?

(Torin the 3 JAL 763F's have all gone to LAN Cargo)

I actually think the colour scheme would be quite plain. Would be good to see once, then its just another Qantas aircraft. Would be nice to go for a polished or gray fuselage, or even animated pallets painted down the side.

The picture I saw yesterday had the rego as VH-EFA, though had to zoom in to read it, so could be mistaken.
