The Qantas 707 restoration documentary (no no 56K)

[VEGAS]

Hi all,

I have just finished watching this fascinating documentary on the restoration of the Qantas Boeing 707 that was stood at Southend for many years. I really enjoyed the film and what a wonderful achievement it was, getting the old girl back in the air for her return journey back to Oz. If only this kind of thing happened more often.

If anyone want to read the whole story + background etc. etc. a visit to this site would come in handy:

Our very own Tony Madge has made a very nice repaint of VH-XBA available over at HJG...

(And it performs very well in FSX too, I might add)

The routing home was (also mentioned at the site) as follows:

Southend - Dublin -Tenerife - Hamilton(Bermuda) - Orlando(Hi to JT) - Los Angeles - Honolulu - Nadi - Sydney - (Longreach)

Have a nice flight, and remember to wear something appropriate ;-)
