Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

Booka Shade, The Avalanches and a bunch of other artists who played at the Marion Bay leg of Falls Festival yesterday currently in the HBA QP!
 
We had a footy coach onboard with us the other day. He is the one who will help the Fremantle Dockers start their trophy room silverware collection.
 
Dave Hughes in QF HKG lounge on Tuesday (I'm terrible with names but he looked familiar and SWMBO remembered his name)

Now on QF467 from SYD to MEL and Peter Hellair is sitting at seat 4F as I type (whilst in my comfort of 2K)
 
Ed Sheeran in the SYD F lounge this afternoon (or probably yesterday afternoon now). Went straight to one of the 'private' rooms. Not much fanfare and he seemed very down to earth, but he did have a F Host and a couple of the lounge attendants went straight in to greet him. I was just leaving the lounge and was quite pleased that despite being a nobody Isabella made a point of farewelling me, in addition to the terrific greeting and farewell from Nestor.
 
RdeC at SYDT3 arrivals waiting for luggage. Not in QF livery

No idea who or what a 'RdeC' is. Perhaps I should be thankful of that.

EDIT: it appears google has no idea who this is either:

'Research and Development Expenditure Credit - Wikipedia]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_and_Development_Expenditure_Credit


The Research and Development Expenditure Credit (RDEC), introduced in 2013, is a UK tax incentive designed to encourage large companies to invest in R&D ...'

is the first result. And nothing in the first 80 google results seems remotely relevant to the posting.

Google does not know a lot of other things - eg WP

Actually googling:

'WP australian frequent flyer abbreviation' gets you this as hit number 2:

WP = Wanker Platinum

But 'RdeC australian frequent flyer abbreviation' gets you nothing relevant. So I assume it is a very uncommon abbreviation.

I initially thought he meant "Deek" -- but couldn't figure out if he'd ever run a marathon in QF livery.
