Any one remember these? The Ansett pic was taken in Franklin St Melbourne Not sure about the TAA pic. At least if you were on the bus you knew you wouldn't miss the plane

John Travolta has a fully operational Qantas B707 in Qantas colours. It visits Australia quite often Incidentally there is a B707 on display at Longreach however unfortunately internally it is fitted out as a Sheik's airborne palace.

There were no overhead bins in those days

OK here's another one, a Vickers Viscount at HBA circa 1960 sorry about the scratches

Are we allowed a bit of nostalgia? Lockheed Electra, Mascot circa 1960

Sorry about the typo - now corrected

Over the Andes in a LAN CHILE A320

Port Philip heads on a flight MEL-HBA

Thanks Meggsy, lets see how this works

Help for a new poster please. How do I include a quote from previous post in a quote box?

Actually I think the grey paint is camouflage, the RAAF planes use it. The grey merges into the clouds and so the bad guys can't take aim.

Earlier in this thread I made mention of the lack of a lift at BNE airport for Jetstar passengers whose aircraft park in stand off locations away from the terminal building. Arriving JQ pax must climb a flight of very steep stairs and departing pax must clamber down these stairs. No thought is...

Perhaps Vlad does not realise he is flying over Australia, no need for stealth over here. He may have been worried about being shot down, after all shooting down planes is a national sport in Russia and adjacent territories under Russian control

Can you ID the first plane pic, I assume its Russian, and the third I assume is one of those now rarer A340s

Thank you to all who have assisted me. I like the idea of Pushka's, over the years we have been to many places both by sea and by air. I do know of a couple of places for when I am ready. I will follow up on the information supplied by opusman - thanks. I will let you know how I go.

Is it possible to transfer my wife's QF points into my QF account? My wife has 138470 points currently. I know this sounds mercenary but my wife does not have very long to live and unfortunately the trip we were saving points for will probably not take place. A friend of mine suggested that I...

Yes I agree, a test Y seat would be better. If the EVP gets jammed in the seat then the test fails. Come to think of it, another Y seat should be located directly in front of the test seat on the same pitch as the aircraft to check the leg room required by the EVP.

Here is a procedure for handling EVP's 1.When booking, if the EVP is over 120 kg this must be disclosed 2.The EVP will be required to purchase two seats and pay the surcharge for seat allocation in row 1 3.At check in if (in the opinion of the CI clerk) the pax presenting might be an EVP and...

Surely the photo of the obese passenger was photo shopped. His overall size is just so much larger than the surrounding pax and the fact that he hangs out over most of the aisle thus preventing the FA's access surely could not be tolerated even in the land of the free.

I thought the airlines were going to introduce a FAT tax?
