Rocketman arrives with Batman! (updated).

 Arriving at Dunedin a little after 1430 today (25 Nov) direct from Sydney was Gulfstream 5 HB-IMJ using the callsign "Batman 141" carrying Sir Elton John. 

As expected,  the Gulfstream departed as "Batman 151" Dunedin at 0007 local time Saturday morning on its return to Sydney at the conclusion of the one and only NZ concert played by Sir Elton.

A comment was made regarding the arrival into the Sydney curfew.  Such aircraft under a certain weight category can apply for dispensation to operate during the curfew at Sydney with the understanding that arrivals are on runway's 34L/R and departures on 16L/R.
