And some of it's sister (A39-003) conducting post-conversion test flights in Brisbane in the 'nude'.

So apart from the boom system, how close are the RAAF birds to the RAF ones spec wise?

[GTX]

I'm not totally sure.  There might be some minor subsystem differences but I doubt many.  Not sure what the Defensive Systems fitout is one either.

I think it is only the boom (an associated systems) that is the difference from the RAAF KC-30 and RAF Voyager.

Greg, the aircraft that was delivered to Amberley was also A39-003. The RAAF should receive its next KC-30 in a couple of weeks.

Will the RAAF adopt the same name the RAF have coined for it or stick to KC-30 ?

I doubt it - expect KC30 only.
