[1600px] "Longreach" is a fitting name for record-breaker VH-ZNJ, as on 14 November 2019 it operated a non-stop special test flight from London Heathrow to Sydney in just over 19 hours - which coincidently was the last leg of the aircraft's delivery flight. Since then, the Dreamliner carrying Qantas' special Centenary livery has for over a week flown between Sydney/Melbourne and Hong Kong, operating the QF127/8 and QF29/30 flight pairs intermittenly. The beautiful bird was met with an equally stunning sunset as she sat on stand E6 in HKG awaiting her cargo being loaded, before her 7:05pm departure back to MEL as QF30.
