Appears SQ landed before the RWY was closed.
I'd have thought you'd see it.

And on a different note, if you happen to be travelling along the Murray in Victoria, there's an excellent little museum at Lake Boga, with a Catalina. The lake was used for training and maintenance of flying boats in WWII. And the local silo has been given the silo art treatment, with an aviation theme.

A380 9HGLOBL Landed in Dresden after a long trip from the boneyard with a gear down crossing of the Atlantic in May and the same again on this leg, apparently there were no jacks in the US to do a gear swing…..QF we’re obviously not handing their KLAX assets over! Be interesting to see if she ever enters service as proposed, lots of hurdles to overcome with seating etc

Certainly the EFW Facilities at Dresden are used by Lufthansa and Emirates for their A380s still? I guess a good a place as any for a gear overhaul and all the other heavy maintenence.

Is the seating issue still a thing? I thought the issue was more of a parts thing with the A380 fleet.

The seating issue may have been overcome by using the China Southern bird which has Sicma seats rather than the original first bird which had the now unusable Koito seats.
 
First time a RAAF F35 Lightning was in CNS today.
Landed about 10:45 took off a bit early before the incoming rain at 13:20 or so.
Was to educate the airport refuellers and handlers supposedly.

Bit hard to see against grey sky...I suppose thats the point but.
