Qantas Freight B767-300F from February 2011

No, D Chan, I wasn't referring to that as what would be the point of a dedicated freighter if it only had under deck storage and only a small door at the front ?

A bit like the RAAF's new KC30Bs that only have under deck storage and no large cargo door to utilize the upper passenger deck space.

And thanks John for confirming the cargo door is on the starboard side.

Bob, what Dickson means is the large cargo door on the starboard side is for underfloor storage. The only upper door is on the port side at the front of the aircraft.

Well as JA603F has a large aft cargo door then I guess VH-EFR has one too, as they are one in the same. Looks like large cargo doors all round then.

Still haven't sighted this a/c yet and wonder why it hasn't been put into service yet?

[Oliver Gigacz]

I was in Sydney last Tuesday, and spotted it inside the 767 hangars.

[D Chan]

perhaps it is due to CHC earthquake?

[Brian Wilkes]

Anyone know when the new QF 763F will start services across the Tasman?

[Fred C]

Maybe on Sun at 0800?

[Brian Wilkes]

So this is NOT confirmed?

[Fred C]

It has been changing daily for nearly a week now. So I aint willing to commit.
