Not too sure if there is a thread for this sort of thing but was walking to work this morning and noticed an RAAF A330 MRT or whatever it's called on the Deep Freeze apron. As it was dark I got no pics to prove it, so does anybody?

Lindy, I'm very sure Marty's 'Jono and Chris' would be in shortly with photo's, even when Marty is grounded here he gets constant updates from the 'AVSEC Dubious duo ' via phone/communicator's on whats moving and whats not here and whats not :)

We have a couple of ex-Qantas A330s being converted to MRTTs, apparently in Spain. Could this be one on delivery?

That would explain it, When had to go out yesterday morning 800/830 would have thought the would have burnt off earlier, sorta got home 1.30 and it was clear.

That would make for an interesting trip, question , do they get flown out by the SA company pilots or are contractors brought in.
