QANTAS First direct flights

[RANGERMOUSE]

This morning the first direct flight from Australia to the UK landed in Heathrow. Operated by QANTAS as QF9 from Perth. A 17 hour journey, the second longest after Doha to Auckland. Having family over in Perth I have been 3 times. Although 17 hours is a long time I would prefer this to the hassle of changing and waiting on other flights. I am hoping to go again later this year and hope to use this flight. The 787 is a beautiful aircraft and I have a model of the 800 version nearing completion. I'm tempted to get the 900 version and do it in QANTAS colours following today.
