A20-624 (cn 19624/689) Looking extremely shiny, this 707 was obtained from Qantas in 3.79 and was the last to be retired by the RAAF in a celebration on 30.6.08. A week later it was towed to the 33 Sqdn hangar at Richmond and parked with the other withdrawn 707s. See my 1972 shot as VH-EAD also on A.net |

A20-624 (cn 19624/689) Farewell to the B707 for RAAF, this being a farewell salute to Sydney over Sydney Harbour, the aircraft is also wearing a farewell scheme and is being flanked by a RAAF Hawk(I think), which I assume is being used for some aerial photography. |
