Oops – a touch of unintentional ambush marketing perhaps?
Hey it coulld happen to anyone, but it is amazing sometimes how circumstances appear to conspire against one, just when you want everything to go your way.
Yesterday was no different for Qantas, with two Virgin Blue 737’s [pictured right] waiting on the nearby taxi way for take off, right in camera shot of the assembled media, when the massive Qantas A380 came floating in.

Ah, well the best laid plans, but at the end of the day none did anything to detract from the arrival of this amazing aircraft and the milestone we are told it represents for Qantas.
