Just some shots I took of myself flying the CLS Boeing 747-200 which I've had for a while now in a classic Qantas livery of the 1970s (and the livery these jets wore when delivered).

Aircraft is VH-ECB. Boeing 747-238B-SCD. c/n 21977-409. First flew October 25th, 1979 and was the first Qantas 747 to be powered by Rolls Royce engines.

Operated first revenue service San Francisco-Sydney as QF4 - November 15, 1979 and operated final revenue service Tokyo-Sydney as QF20 - April 21, 2002.
The aircraft was ferried to Pinal Air Park April 30, 2002 and was scrapped December 3, 2002.

Hope you enjoy the shots and the history!

Great shots. Can't decide which is best. Love the cockpit one though.

Thanks all.
The cockpit shot did come out better than I was expecting. I love this aircraft even if it is just for that old fashioned cockpit equipment with all the steam gauges and ticker-tape readings for the engines.
