ANZAC 747
 

I have a memory of Qantas flying a 747 with diggers back to Gallipoli to commemorate i think the 70th or 75th anniversary of Anzac day.
Is my memory right and if so does anyone remember the plane's rego and did the jumbo get a name change for the flight?
Any links to photos or stories would be wonderful
I know they did this in 2015 for the 100th anniversary as well.

VH-OEH I think, it had a decal on the nose and it was back in 2015, the 100th anniversary.

Close but no cigar,

VH-OEI carried a "100 Years of Anzac" sticker near the forward door

Not sure of the 75th Anniversary aircraft but I think it was renamed "Spirit of Anzac"

There was a 75th anniversary flight in 1990. It carried a small number of surviving WWI diggers and their support staff. Can't remember the rego but it's flight number was QF1915 for the outbound flight and QF1918 for the return flight.

Thank you all. I remember it being a 400, and the plane was called the spirit of ANZAC in the big gold letters
