VH-OJA was the first -400 delivered to Qantas in August 1989. Instead of being delivered directly to Australia, the aircraft was positionned to London and broke the record of distance for a passenger flight, reaching Sydney in 20 hours and 9 minutes (for a total of 9,633nm). A great report of the flight can be read here on the AussieAirliners website. The "We go further" titles were added a few days later in Sydney and remained on the aircraft for a few years.
