Plane spotting from the new Fellowship Place

Malaysia Airlines has unveiled a stunning new livery inspired by the Mumbai Indians, and it arrived in Brisbane on Friday, but I missed it. Early yesterday morning, I found out it was making a return to Brisbane, so I jumped out of bed and rushed to the airport, determined not to miss this breathtaking livery again.
