Delivered to Qantas on May 11, 1968 this was the first B707 to land at the recently opened Tullamarine Airport in Melbourne. It operated the last Qantas B707 as QF16P from Melbourne to Sydney on March 26, 1979 after which it was transferred to the RAAF on April 7, 1979 where it served with No 33 Squadron as A20-627. Retired from RAAF service on February 21, 2001 before eventually being scrapped. Photo taken by my late Father in Law David Owens.
