Indeed I was on the crew ex MEL that did the last Qantas ever into Kai Tak.
But what would I know, I only flew the patterns?
There’s also the fact there’s a MEL base for the A380, A330 and B787 - but no SYD B787 base. But facts don’t matter to sad, angry old men who would rather just keep shouting ‘Sydneycentric’ than acknowledge reality.
