Comets were the only jet airliners to provide scheduled international services into Essendon. After they were withdrawn in 1965, flying out of Melbourne to Europe meant a domestic flight to Sydney or another transit port. The opening of Tullamarine airport in 1970 ended this inconvenience.

G-ANUB (15969) Boeing B.377 Stratocruiser "Calypso" of British Overseas Airways Corporation - BOAC, at Prestwick on Monday 13 July 1959, about to start-up and depart on her regular flight across the North Atlantic. It later went on to serve briefly with West African Airways Corporation - WAAC, of Nigeria. I believe it was broken up at Stanstead.

G-AGKT was provided by BOAC to Qantas to operate from Australia to Ceylon (Sri Lanka) replacing Catalinas. The long-haul route avoided Japanese airspace and opened a quicker route to the UK than via the Pacific and the US. -AGKT, stripped of paint, continued with Qantas after the war and was the first Qantas aircraft to carry the kangaroo logo. Withdrawn from use in 1947, it was scrapped at Sydney airport without entering the Australian register. Photo from: Hudson Fysh Collection/State Library of New South Wales

Served with BOAC until January 1960 when it was cancelled from the register on sale to the Royal Rhodesian Air Force. It served with the RRAF as serial 180, later 601-N and later still VP-YZN until August 1964 when it was restored to the British register as G-ALHC to Air Links Ltd., later Trans Globe Airways Ltd., but appears to have been acquired for spares as it was broken up at Redhill during the summer of 1965. Canadair Ltd. photograph reference number D 9610.
