Does anyone know if VH-BKA has extra fuel capacity to the tune of say 7.5 hours at normal cruise power?

I’m still having difficulty accepting that these were non-stop flights.

If they had a “tech stop” each way, the outbound leg would have required lighting - pointing to a very well trained and organised aviation operation.
