    Default The refurb'd Qantas 707...

    Saw on Sky News they are bringing the original 707 back to Longreach. Look, I'm not given to emotion, much, but what a sight when it did a low pass over the airfield as it started the trip back! This is pretty cool.

    Yeah - who'dve thought that we'd ever get to 777?

    BTW back from where?

    Abandoned at Southend (UK) I think. I haven't been able to establish where it has been since 1974 when Qantas traded it in... Africa, South America... gun running no doubt...
