Etihad's Grand Prix 787 calls into Brisbane

I got a call from my wife this morning to inform me that the new Etihad 787 in the Formula One livery is on its way to Brisbane and is due in around 5.15pm. This aircraft was delivered to Etihad only last week (21st Nov) as EY9011 landing in Abu Dhabi right on 6pm (local time). It stayed on the ground for a few days and then on the 25th it did a Abu Dhabi to Abu Dhabi flight for just over an hour, circling the city.
On the 26th it performed its first revenue flight from Abu Dhabi to Manchester and back and then today it came to Brisbane. This is a beautiful looking machine and I really love the monochrome tail.
