Very nice Anthony. I have something similar on 8mm but BOAC 747.

I arrived in OZ Apr'72 on B747-136 G-AWNJ. (10 pound Pommie!!)

Thanks, sorry about the dust.

Here is another :



I arrived in July 1970 on BOAC B707 G-ARWD.

BOAC=Better On A Camel

Nice! That old observation deck was great and very free of obstructions.

Thanks for sharing, Im guessing that is the QF Cargo B707 that was being talked about last week on here???

........and another



Going to drag out the VC-10's soon.

Kids today, they grizzle about flying more than 2hrs on a narrow body jet.

Absolutely fantastic photos!

You should consider trying to get those onto jetphotos/airliners.net - especially the AA 707 as there are very few photos of the aicraft in SYD

Those BOAC 707's would have been nearing the end of their service to Sydney around then, fully replaced by VC10's by 1971

Does anybody know if the VC10's started operating into Sydney before the opening of the current international terminal?

Thanks for your comments, Jack.

How do I get all the dust off old slides?
My final 707 flight was in 1976 on TWA from Chicago to San Francisco.
Although I did a B720 flight from Medellin to Bogata (145 miles) on Aerocondor (HK-1974) in 1978. An interesting SID applied at Medellin, which was mainly concerned with not hitting the Andes mountains.

Amazing photos, love the AA, do you have any Pan Am's

[Anthony T]

Hi there

Todd I'll check tomorrow and will post on this thread, have about 4,000 slides dating from the early 1970's. Pan Am 707's have got to be in there somewhere.


Cheers
