The last Silkway West 747 visit I can see from my records was on the 18th –19th of February 2022, and it was VQ-BBH (MSN 62708), Boeing 747-83QF. It arrived from Chicago via Honolulu on the Friday evening and departed Brisbane as 7L147 to Hong Kong on Saturday morning.
I had planned to stay for about three hours, leaving around 8:30 am after the early morning international rush, but then I found out the Cathay Pacific 80-year retro was arriving at 10:30 am, so I decided to stick around for it.
