Canadian Pacific was in the middle of changing its identity to CP Air when this photo was taken of CF-CPS in its original livery. Luckily, taxiway works meant a circuitous trip from the terminal to the Qantas Jet Base, bringing Empress of Madrid within range of a 55mm lens.

VH-EBH was delivered to Qantas in July 1961 and withdrawn from use in June 1968. It then sat around Sydney airport for more than a year until sold to British West Indian Airways as 9Y-TDC. The 707-138B was shorter than the normal 707-100, tailor-made for Qantas and in some ways akin to the 747SP in trading capacity for range. But by 1968 improved airports meant the 707-300 could flying all the routes and with better seat-mile costs. Several of Qantas' 13 707-138Bs ended up as corporate aircraft.

VH-EBH was delivered to Qantas in July 1961 and withdrawn from use in June 1968. It then sat around Sydney airport for more than a year until sold to British West Indian Airways as 9Y-TDC. The 707-138B was shorter than the normal 707-100, tailor-made for Qantas and in some ways akin to the 747SP in trading capacity for range. But by 1968 improved airports meant the 707-300 could flying all the routes and with better seat-mile costs. Several of Qantas' 13 707-138Bs ended up as corporate aircraft.

CF-CPQ and TAA Boeing 727 VH-TJA collided at Sydney airport on the night of January 29, 1971. There were 240 people on the two aircraft. The report found the CP Air crew had backtracked instead of exiting while the crew of the 727 was criticised for failing to see the DC-8 when they had time to stop and not adopting a steeper climb-out when they did. The controller was largely exonerated because from his position at night it was difficult to see if the DC-8 was on the runway or the taxiway. The 727 safely landed despite losing hydraulics from a large hole in the belly. No injuries.

DC-3s and boomerangs - VH-EDD was registered to Qantas in 1946 as VH-EAO (later VH-EBX) before being sold to TAA as VH-SBH in 1960. TAA sold it two years later to the Netherlands Air Force for use in Dutch Western New Guinea. It returned to Australia and Qantas in 1964 as VH-EDD for crew training and hauling freight. It was sold to Bush Pilots Airways in 1971 and ended up on the Cairns airport fire dump.

VH-DYR was written off after its undercarriage collapsed on landing at Crookwell, New South Wales, on February 1, 1975. On October 10, 1970, I watched -DYR descent into rough ground on the Bankstown airport boundary after its engine lost power on take-off. The undercarriage was torn off but all four on board escaped serious injury. It was the first aircraft accident I witnessed.
