Boeing 707 Reunion

Saturday 1st September - 2018

Today there was a 50th Year Anniversary for all those lucky Trolly-Dolly’s that flew on the Boeing 707 Aircraft for Qantas.

Service Supervisor Ken Warburton posing in front of the Classic ‘57 
Chevy parked near Darling Street, Balmain.

So to get us both in the mood I decided to drive my ‘57 Chevy to the Cricketers Arms Hotel in Balmain to celebrate the momentous occasion.

Balmain, an inner Sydney suburb will charm you with its heritage pubs, beautifully restored sandstone cottages and terrace houses.

Some of Australia's best-known writers, actors, film directors, musicians and artists call Balmain home. A casual stroll along the streets will reveal Balmain’s colonial heritage, from its working-class roots to the many restored Georgian and Regency buildings and some of the harbour city’s oldest pubs.

Qantas entered the jet age in 1959 with delivery of its first Boeing 707.
It flew until March 1979 with Qantas.

Balmain was the perfect location to celebrate the great memories of the early nostalgic jet age years flying and working onboard this iconic Qantas aircraft.

Cheers
Warbo.
