Any idea when its leaving?

Gareth Forwood · #3 5th June 2009, 10:07 AM

This would happen on the one day I don't have a car.....

Gerard M · #4 5th June 2009, 11:40 AM

I'll second that one Gareth!!

Any idea what its in for? Depending when its leaving i might want to go out and have a look
From webtrak it looks like it came from Williamtown? Wouldn't have been the one that was meant to arrive on Sunday at Willie was it?

It arrived from Williamtown and will depart after dark.

It's collecting various freight.

Thanks, again Nigel. In that case i'll have found a car by then and have been stuck with the night shift so doesn't looks like i'll be going out. May be a stupid question, but anyone get any pictures of it for the not so fortunate who can't be there?

Gareth Forwood · #7 5th June 2009, 12:31 PM

Thanks for the info Nigel.
I've found a lift, so there should be a couple of us out there by around 3ish. Where's the best place to go to get a good view of the cargo bays - I've tried intl obs deck but there are too many light poles in the way.
Cheers.

When I'm on the other side of the fence I tend not to look in, and I rarely travel on Airport Drive to know where you can and can't go. Sorry.

T3 you can get decent pics. I got about 80 pics so one better be good

Rego: UR-82073

Well its still there. I waited until about 10pm wearing shorts and a t-shirt for it to come up on clearance delivery and it didnt happen. Its all closed up and looks ready to rock and roll.

Pretty bad light and not a great angle for a decent pic.
