Regular visitors at Melbourne Airport are already used to the sight of the Boeing 787, given Air India, Jetstar and United are regular operators at Tullamarine with the Dreamliner.
However, those around the airport on Sunday afternoon witnessed the arrival of a 787 in a not-often-seen livery in this part of the world.
United Arab Emirates-registered 787-8, A6-PFC, landed at 1630 local time on February 15, after a flight of more than 13 hours from Abu Dhabi.
The aircraft, featuring an all-white fuselage, red cheatline below the passenger windows and UAE flag on the tail, belongs to Abu Dhabi Amiri Flight, which provides air transport for the government of Abu Dhabi.
... and it's just passed Sydney out of YSCB (Canberra) on it's way east across the Pacific to NFFN (Nadi in Fiji) at approx 16:00hrs local using callsign AUH06 (ATC callsign 'Sultan06') at FL410 but I cant bring it up on playback as it's not functioning at the moment and the aircraft is not showing its callsign on FR24. Last heard on Brisbane Centre (128.60Mhz).
