Rare In-Flight 'Wing View' from RAAF 33 Flight Boeing 707-338C A20-624 Cn 19624, crossing the West Australian coast (Kimberley region) during an 8 and 1/2 hour flight to Butterworth Malaysia on 05Dec1980. I was departing on a two year posting to 478 Squadron. (My first flight to Butterworth was in Qantas Boeing 707-338C VH-EAB, Cn 19622 in April 1977). Tanker modified A20-624 also departed Canberra on 22May2008 for Butterworth, taking personnel to Commemorate the RAAF's 50th Anniversary at Butterworth. A20-624 (formerly Qantas VH-EAD) was the last Boeing 707 in RAAF Service, having retired on 30Jun2008, with '29 Years Service to the Nation'. Low res photo.
