QF 744 retirement. Where is it at?

[David Heath]

I assume it'll be stored at VCV for a while until all the museum logistics are sorted out. HARS would be such a great spot. They have a wonderful collection of airliner heritage.

[Yusef D]

I'd be impressed if the Tarmac at WOL could hold a 747, even an min weight.

[Brian Wilkes]

How about the Boeing Museum!

[Yusef D]

I think they're ok for 747s. And hypocritically, a Concorde.

[Greg Hyde]

The Boeing Museum is currently restoring the prototype a/c which performed the ff & subsequent flight testing.

It still has the water barrels inside that were used for cog testing etc.

[Darren H]

yes it is definitely going to HARS, it will return from the US some time next week and needs to be delivered to WOL by mid-jan, should be exciting.

[Dave H]

Thanks Darren, could it fly back with passengers or was yesterday it's final rev flight?

[Erik H. Bakke]

Sending her to the Gong means Qantas can be pretty sure she's never going to fly again...
I'll start planning for a visit to see her arrive, I think.

[Martin Buzzell]

I'll drag the carvan up from Melbourne for a visit. A LOT closer than Longreach.

[Paul S.]

Maybe they will put it on a pole, what happened to that thread
