Yep, QF6029 confirmed to be 5th engine ferry, arriving SYD 16:30 Sunday arvo, provisionally. Speed is limited to M0.78 but I think the ETA is taking that into account. However we will probably bumble around at Changi for an unplanned 30 mins while someone figures out how to let 3 x QF flight-crew access an aircraft on a remote bay at 5am. Security, you see....

So photo enthusiasts, please be patient if we are a bit late as there is no ability to speed up inflight!

BTW, having done one of these before, yes, the flight is planned at non-RVSM levels. Howevere once inside Aus we can get higher if ATC can achieve the increased separation required between RVSM and non-RVSM capable aircraft.
