That's interesting about EBG. They must have sorted it out eventually as it was still delivered to El Al after its brief return to QF. I believe the aeroplane ended her days with El Al. I too would love to hear the full story.
The Martinair B747 certainly looked brand spanking. Incidentally, it seems there was a second lease to QF from 02OCT89 to 20APR90. I don't remember that one.
