Qf Bkk B744

Poof in Boots - the QF B744 that overran at BKK back in 1999 is still indeed in QF colours, reg VH-OJH. From all accounts (2nd hand obviously but widely reported) the cost of the repairs were huge and the hull should have been deemed a write-off on a cost analysis basis, but QF didn't want to lose the 'never written off a jet aircraft' claim so paid $100million (reportly) to fix the aircraft.
