Retro Roo, and a 717 too! My sole airport visit this week was mid afternoon on Sunday, primarily to photograph the Qantas Boeing 737 wearing the scheme adapted from their livery used throughout the 70s and early 80s, a livery I have wanted to see for quite some time. I arrived just in time to […]
Flying on SIA’s Super Jumbo to the UK capital The final leg of the first half of our trip to the UK and Europe back in 2018 was Singapore Airlines flight SQ308, onboard Airbus A380-800 9V-SKL. I was pretty jetlagged by this point, so I don’t have too many pictures. During our two night layover, […]
Among other things, the inaugural 787 to Hobart! First up, I’d like to apologise for my brief hiatus, I’ve been a little busy over the past weeks, but should be back to regular posting now. It has been an exciting few weeks for spotters at Hobart, with news of Cathay Pacific freight services to start […]
Taking a Triple Seven to the Garden City The second leg on our trip to Europe, back in 2018, was MEL-SIN on board Singapore Airlines’ Boeing 777-300ER (9V-SWW), my first flight on the triple seven. I took loads of pictures, and kept a lot of stuff from this flight, so this trip report will be […]
An Antarctic arrival and not much else It was a fairly normal week of operations at Hobart this week, the only arrival of note being an RAAF C-17 coming in to operate the first few cargo flights to Antarctica this season. On Wednesday last week, I finally had the opportunity to photograph the last of […]
Heading to Tullamarine on the Baby Boeing Back in July 2018 my family and I headed off on a whirlwind trip to the UK and Europe, our first leg was Hobart to Melbourne on Virgin Australia’s Boeing 737-800, VH-YFG. I’d like to apologise in advance for the poor photo quality, the camera I was using […]
A few interesting airframes, and a special visitor With the second Link Airways flight to Hobart and one of the first QantasLink services since the resumption of flights last week, I decided to head over to the airport for a bit of planespotting last Sunday. All photos unless stated otherwise were taken from the hill […]
Returning home on Virgin Australia’s workhorse After spending four days enjoying the sights and sounds of northern NSW back in autumn 2018, it was time for me to head back home, but this time out of Brisbane International (BNE) onboard Virgin Australia Boeing 737-800, VH-YFP. After a two hour drive I arrived at Brisbane’s domestic […]
Tigerair Airbus A320 to Coolangatta
Taking Tigerair’s A320 to the sunshine state With the Tigerair brand being retired earlier this year as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, I decided I would revisit my sole flight with the aforenoted airline. Back in April 2018 I took flight TT852 from Hobart to the Gold Coast/Coolangatta. With one of Tigerair’s receipt style […]
