  • Nice to see this clip of my father,brings back fond memories of him!

  • Sorry to take months to reply Gruntol5 I don't often log in to youtube as you can tell, from what I found on the RAAF web site, the

    WD280 was transferred from the Royal Air Force in March 1956, and was loaded aboard the brand new aircraft carrier, HMAS Melbourne, for the voyage to Australia. Arriving in Sydney in May 1956, the 707A was then transferred to HMAS Sydney and shipped to Melbourne ,youtube doesn't seem to allow links, but you should find it if you search "raafmuseum" point cook .

  • Excellent

  • @speedway70 : I remember reading about that and seeing the photographs. The big question is how did the tiny aircraft get from Britain to Australia?

  • Thanks for posting this fantastic clip, a gentleman in Melbourne Australia kept his Avro 707a in the backyard of his house for about 30 years, it is now located at the Air museum at point cook Airbase, photos can be seen of the plane and it's journey to the museum via the freeway on the museum website
