This is a one part series, thanks to Todd for telling me what was coming in because other wise I would never have got these pictures.

Originally I went out to the carpark to get pictures of Dash 8-Q400 VH-QOW which wears a special livery for Taronga Zoo which was due in, regrettably the photos didn't come out, this is what seemed at the time a rather strange movement, VH-QOX is seen been moved to a different parking position.

This is VH-RJB a small Cessna Citation belonging to Airlux. It is about now I got a message from Todd that there was a 767 coming in on a diversion from Melbourne, it is then when the QOX movement made sense, the gate QOX was parked at is the only gate capable of taking a 767.

There she is, Qantas 767-338 VH-OGN 'Partnership' is seen landing in Canberra on a Sydney to Melbourne flight, this aircraft experienced a wind shear alert on final approach to Melbourne forcing it to abort landing, the crew elected to divert to Canberra to take on fuel.
