Photo of the day March 3

Taken a long time ago.

G-AWNF
Boeing 747-136
Alongside a Pan Am 747
Melbourne. Nov 20th 1976
Photo by: George Canciani

Why is it my choice of photo of the day?
Its something that will never be seen again. And for its age the photo is in superb condition

Qantas has never operated any T tail aircraft, except for some Impulse 717s operating under the Qantaslink banner

Definitely a QF 707. Besides, did QANTAS ever operate a T-tail aircraft?

It is indeed a Qantas 707 to the right, and you’ll notice in the distance, a TAA 727 on the taxiway

Looks like a 707 to me too..

Wonderful, I can just make out the Qantas tail in the right of the picture, presumably a 707?
