Reason: Great photograph. A tad bit grainy, but good composition and DOF. Above all, is its excellent EV, being the main image of two articles.

~~Not sure how much EV there is for an aircraft built by the French and operated by an Australian carrier, in any of the UK listed articles, just because it took off from LHR.~~ Undercarriage, though heavily illustrated, could do with a an image like this.. currently the article has a bunch of photos of wheels. It could also replace the identically captioned image at takeoff taken by the same photographer, although in that one you can still see the wheels even though they've been retracted.

My bad, didn't realise the wings and engines were made in the UK. Matthewedwards (talk · contribs) 04:23, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If this is the actual plane involved in Qantas Flight 32 as the picture indicates then it has maximum EV for that article, and thus fulfills that requirement. — raeky t 16:54, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the article about the Quantas 32 accident says the aircraft's tail number was VH-OQA. That is the number on the airplane in the picture. --Wingtipvorte^X PTT ∅ 20:49, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
