Jump to postMoonm has pics of V8-DBA:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/moonm/
For some reason I suspected QF would go without the 'Dreamliner' titles. Too informal maybe?
The aircraft does sport the standard 'Boeing 787-8' titles adjacent to the rego though.
moonm has pics of LN123/VH-VKA on flickr. She looks very nice!!

As expected she's a beauty! Improves on the already great lines of the -8.

LN123 must have been moved to 40-24. There has recently been a queue to get in for painting once outside which casts doubt on it being in the paint hangar.

Jump to postIts great to be able to watch aviation history live......from the other side of the planet!
She is clearly the most attractive Airbus aircraft in the line up.
The aircraft in position 2 looks to be a 787 that has already been fully painted and rolled back in for some more work.
Edit: According to AllThings787 it is LN122 for AeroMexico in Position 3 and LN115 also for AeroMexico in Position 2
[Edited 2013-06-12 05:04:09 by dan23]
It is astounding to me that the aircraft could touchdown that heavily on 3 legs and avoid destruction. It is also amazing how much damage the aircraft endured, yet it still returned everyone to the ground in one piece.
