VH-EAG was delivered to Qantas in 1968. Sold to the RAAF in March 1979 as a VIP transport. Broken up for spare parts in 2001. Forward fuselage donated to HARS. HARS has also acquired thr former John Travolta 707 N707JT which had been 707-138B VH-EBM with Qantas. It was VH-EBM, and not VH-EAG, that had been City of Launceston. EAG had been named City of Hobart originally and later Alice Springs. This photo is copyright © David Caughey, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
