Qantas Project Sunrise goes ahead, 12 new A350-1000s ordered

Does anyone know when Qantas will have its full fleet of A350-1000ULRs? Are they going to be delivered very close to one another, or will deliveries be spread out over many years?

The first 2 (maybe 3) will most likely be here before the first official sunrise flight.

I'd imagine the future planes will come at regular intervals over the course of a few years before receiving more a350 (regular) ones over the next decade.

First PS A35K has engines installed from @euro.spot on Instagram.
Still no tail paint... maybe special livery?
Apparently the second one is already in the paint shop according to @wingsview.tls

Would make sense given we had a special livery for a220. Shame the 321XLR was just normal.

Flying over/around a sandpit would garner a decent premium at the moment!

I suspect a few in senior management are desperately wishing they could bring forward those flights to last week!
