Ryan do you remember what aircraft it was by any chance. I would love to get some info on schedules and frequencies for that route.

Yes Michael, it definitely existed in the 1980's. It was on Ansett and went OOL-BNE-LST-HBA, perhaps in school holidays and the summer period....? I remember landing in Launceston and half the passengers got off before the other half continued on through to Hobart. I was only six years of age, but I think it was a 737. I can't remember if it was the -200 series or the newly introduced -300 series. I don't think it was the 727-200.

All flights show "JET" so could be both DC9 and B727 aircraft. |

Hi Michael, East West Flight 148, F27 in the Gold Coast Express livery from BNE-OOL was on 11 January 1984 on VH-EWQ. So yes mid eighties is correct

Another good resource is http://www.timetableimages.com/ttima...mplete.htm#Aus.
I have a AN timetable dated March 1986 at home it has a couple of interesting routes from memory there was SYD-DRW milkrun routing SYD-(BNE?)-TSV-CNS-GOV-DRW. Unfortunately equipment is "Boeing" but I'm guessing 737-200 maybe a 727 for the SYD/TSV if there was no BNE stop. If I remember correctly at the very end of TN's DC-9 ops they had them on a BNE-ROK-MKY-TSV-CNS run. I remember flying DRW-ADL on AN in 1994 the full routing was something like DRW-ADL-MEL-SYD-CBR. *EDIT It was actually a MEL-SYD-TSV-CNS-GOV-DRW milkrun I was thinking of. AN6 on Monday only. The return made the same stops as AN71 which ran twice weekly on Wed/Thu.

Was looking at the old Eastern Australian Airlines routemap today and noticed that they use to have flights BNE-WGA and OOL-WGA. Can anybody shed any info? Timetable image was 1992.
