Blake - I don't think you realise how unique that photo is. That has every aircraft type in the QF Mainline fleet. With the departure of the 743, there is a 744, A380, A332, A330, 767 and 737. The only derivitive missing is the difference 737 models. Great shot! I think I just found my new desktop background!

Some great shots folks.

Seeing blue titles on a QF aircraft will take a bit of getting used too.

-OEB has looked good every since it's repaint it's just a pity they couldn't of taken the opportunity to paint another B744 into the new livery and apply the OW scheme to that one.

It is also a shame QF couldn't of rectified the mismatched QF logo on the no.4engine which has been like that for quite a few months now.

Agree with Tom, I'd have expected them to have chosen another B744 for the oneworld livery, but ah well.

It doesn't look that bad in my opinion. I like the oneworld liveries more than the Star Alliance ones and it's something new and different out there. Excellent photos from the group again. Thanks!

Dan

Where is the A380?

Tail section in the middle above the ONE in One world.

I can't see it either.

The tail sticking out of the hangar in question looks more like a B763 or an A330. The R5 door on QF A380 is entirely red...the R5 on the plane sticking out of the hangar is red and white.

I suspect the tail in the middle is probably an A330 rather than an A380. It seems to have grey paint where the horizontal stab meets the fuselage like the other A330s in the pic. Also the fact that it is in the "new" livery would probably place greater odds on it being an A330 than a 767.

Not the biggest fan looks a bit half arsed compared to the star liveries imo. But good to see something different nonetheless

The tail is no where near big enough, when you look at other photos that have an A380 around there.

The other thing is the grey/silver piece as Damian said.

I think there is a building there than gives an impression of a top row of windows.

Zooming in on that picture it looks a lot like a second row of windows, I believe that's what it is as well.
