This contrasts most reports I've seen about HM's inbound flight, including discussion on airliners.net - one report I managed to dig up quickly here states that "during the 10,500-mile trip... the British Airways charter stopped off only once to briefly refuel in Singapore."

To my knowledge BA does not have 777-200LRs - just the 'vanilla' 777-200 - could these do LHR-CBR, even when extremely light? Obviously the 777L could, given its 22hr+ record flight a few years ago.

I stand corrected. I botched up the article in The West Australian (paragraph three). The record will be her return flight, Perth to London. My apologies for the misinformation.

And I, in turn, have erred in referring to BA's 777 as a 'vanilla 777-200' when it is a 777-200ER!

I'm not sure the R in RAAF provides technical ownership. It just signifies a royal warrant or charter, similar to RAN or RAR or RAAC. Note the Australian Army is not the RAA. Instead I'd say technical ownership arises due to HM being the royal head of state of Australia.
 
Actually I believe a bed gets installed in f for the queen...

The only reason I know these stupid snippets about the queen and B.A. is because I used to read the B.A. forum at flyertalk frequently and there's a few threads on the topic. Can't search now but I'm sure someone will.

I read somewhere that the F section is removed and a royal suite is installed with beds etc.

Happy to be corrected on this.
