Qantas had 16 B747-2s in my 1978 JP Airline book and I had seen them all ! Shame that book went out of print! I have a collection of 25 or so!

I suppose MSN 1657 and 1608 are the ones that have been bought back from Synergy Aerospace. The 3rd delivery would be a new production slot.

Thank you for the link, Carl. The following excerpts are quite interesting ... For the future !
"On connections from Europe to the Far East, we have an advantage of more than two hours compared to the Gulf carriers," Iran Air Chairman and Managing Director Farhad Parvaresh said Jan. 11, referring to the longer flight times required for transfers through more southern hubs in Doha, Qatar; Dubai; and Abu Dhabi.
However, this is for a distant future.
"Parvaresh also warned it could take up to five years until Tehran’s international airport is expanded to the extent that it could be a viable transfer point and, even then, at an estimated capacity of up to 15 million passengers annually, it will be relatively small in size compared to the much bigger Gulf airports".
Iran downplays its potential ... For now !

I think they are both serious and capable and just do it step by step.
