Whose a/c??? (AUS question)

Hoping some of you Aussies (or those transiting Aussie ports) may have the answer I seek....

yes this is probably a question that will be classified as 'stupid newbie question', but it's driving me nuts and I must know....

a few times in Perth lately I've seen a large aircraft (unsure what sort as has been dark every time I've seen it) flying about the skies bearing a large 'P' in a circle on the tail. Possibly a blue or dark coloured fuselage (but may be just my bad eyesight....)

I had thought it was something like a 777 or other cargo-type jet....

Whose is it and what is it doing here? Have not seen it before this year...... :confused:

T.I.A.

Could be a Polar Air Cargo 747:

Bingo!!!

Thanks very much, that looks like the one....

(Was too busy to trawl thru A.net, so thanks for the efforts!!! :ok:

One funny thing I did hear someone say, on seeing that a/c take off at night - "look, that must belong to a president, it has a big 'P' on it...." :p

Thanks- now I can sleep again... j/k!
