Seen after use by the Saudi ambassador to the USA, Prince Badar. After languishing in storage at Southend for several years, it was to the amazement and delight of enthusiasts that it was announced it would be returned to its former glory with Qantas, having been their first 707, delivered in 1959. Originally VH-EBA then [ids=1327]CF-PWV, N138TA, N220AM, N138MJ, HZ-123 and registered VH-XBA in July 2006
