I do recall back in the mid 90’s Qantas engineers and I think their historical arm ( which is run by volunteers ) brought a Connie back from the US. Perhaps it is now at the Qantas museum in Longreach? If anybody has an answer would love to know. It would be worth to couple of thousand kilometer trip just to see her again. Chris.

G`day Chris, although some of the HARS engineers who restored the Connie and flew it back to Australia were retired Qantas employees and Qantas did provide some sponsorship in the early stage it`s not a Qantas aircraft and it`s not at Longreach.
The Connie is still flying and it`s located at the HARS museum at Albion Park airfield south of Wollongong, New South Wales and you would be most welcome to come along and see her.
