VH-VOV positioned to Subang for end of lease maintenance this morning.

VH-TJE positioned to Sydney this afternoon, so it can be assumed this is on it's way to Miami to join VH-TJH.

Not sure if this is the right topic for this but I think it fits...

Wondering what the delay in delivery is with new QF 738 VH-XZB?

It suffered a pretty serious bird strike during one of the final test flights before delivery. Not sure when it is coming now.

Noticed that VH-YIT was in service today.
