Hi Marc, possibly the Cat Qantas is ferrying to Australia. Timing is about right and she's yellow. She was in Thailand as of Oct 17.

#4 Luxor to Bahrain
Friday, 09 October 2009 19:07
Jay-walking police would make a fortune in Luxor...everyone wanders all over the roads, little donkeys dragging big carts along the freeways, cars and buses playing dodge-ems. Much safer in the Cat. Got airbourne about 9am, over the Nile, sand, Red Sea (very blue), then Jordan and Saudi Arabia ( more sand and small, rocky mountains) Quite turbulent, and the Cat is not pleasant to fly in such conditions. flies like a whale, wiggles it tail, nods its head all over the place. Sun went down with still a few hours to Bahrain, not too many lights out in the sands of Saudi. After 8 hours airbourne, approaching Bahrain, very pretty. So to let us enjoy it more, we were held at 9000 ft over the top, in holding patterns, on vectors 30nm north west, then back again. Eventually landed 9hrs and 9 minutes after t/o from Luxor. Very tired bunnies checked into the Gulf Hotel, scene of many good memories from the "good old days" when QF operated 747 Classics to and from London.
Day off 2morra..reckon we earnt it 2day.
