Such a great selection of photos Grahame. Back in the 80's there seemed to be a much greater selection of airlines serving Sydney compared with today. They have lost so many great airlines, they have gained a few since those days but not as many as we have lost I reckon.

Great shots there Grahame.

Here's a few going back before the widebodies came along.

Sorry about the dust on them.

Some great additional shots there Anthony, I remember departing from the old Sydney International Terminal on a Qantas B707, and flying to Brisbane on the TAA Lockheed Electra's and Vickers Viscounts. Great days in aviation.

I have put a few TAA & Ansett electra's up there.

The early 70's where days when you could have 3 dutch registered DC-8's in at the same time. (KLM & one's leased to Garuda & Phillipine's)
