Good old Irish flying box, sometimes you battle to get it to fly. When it does you battle to get it down again, especially on hot days. Have the utmost respect for the SC7. Yes it was painted. It also landed up in field Braking it's nose gear off. Happend to us in Mozambique.
A rare, but beautiful sight! As former Qantas employees, and proud Greek-Australians here at the Ouzo Talk Podcast, this is something that we want to see more of. @Qantas - seasonal direct flights from SYD/MEL on the A350 or 787-9 need to be on the agenda! Καλο ταξιδι!
So many great heavies at LHR always, love it! Really surprised by the way to see an Air Canada 737 MAX in London. This must be about as far as this aircraft I can fly I guess?
