BOAC must have had a requirement to link all the countries of the empire. Its Comets passed through Sydney twice a week bound for Auckland, New Zealand, where Whenuapai airport was unable to handle 707s and DC-8s. It was a leisurely service originating in London with eight intermediate stops. BOAC also operated Comets to Melbourne-Essendon. The opening of Auckland's Mangere airport at the end of 1965 ended Comet operations to Australia. 707s flew to Auckland and Melbourne was dropped from the network. Photographer not known. Photo dated by the Petersham water tower finished in 1965.

VH-EWQ was fitted with long-range tanks for the service from Sydney to Norfolk Island, replacing the DC-4s that had previously operated the route. The F27s flew under a dispensation to allow them to operate outside the normal rules for overwater flights by twins. In 1983 F28s, which could operate within the rules, took over.
