Good old Simon Calder, a travel writer who never could quite get his head around time zones.
The schedule starts in S18 (when Perth will be 7 hours ahead of the UK, as at present), but those timings are for W18 (28th October onwards, when PER is UK+9 once our clocks have gone back and Western Australia's forward).
