With coronavirus border restrictions, MAS flights in and out of Adelaide are rare and this had maybe 40 pax on board, all of Asian appearance, possibly Malaysian residents heading home.

Of note, all 'domestic' people going through security were held back for 20+ minutes while this aircrew and their passengers were processed, as only one security gate was in operation. Once they'd been processed a second gate was opened and the rest of us were allowed through both gates - go figure.

Thank you Tom.

Interesting you mention the 'house'. On another day in the terminal recently, a lady asked me about the 'house'. It's not a house but may have been some sort of office or other facility at some time. It may still be in use but I don't know and nothing is near it. It looks as if it about as old as the airport - 1st aircraft landing was December 16, 1954, a DC-3 VH-CAO.

For Tom if you see this...that 'house' was/is the support premises for the nearby radar installation, out of shot back behind the plane.
