With Pacific Western Airlines from 1967 to 1978, this 707 was historically VH-EBA, the first jetliner for QANTAS Airways. Since Boeing kept it for developing the 5th pod spare engine system, it was the second actually delivered to Australia. Qantas Foundation Memorial Ltd bought the aircraft in 2006 after 5 years of storage at Southend, UK. It was flown back to Australia as VH-XBA (EBA was in use) for display at the Qantas Founders Museum.
