Farewell QFb747 Fleet
Sad to see "The Queen of They Sky" being retired. Over the years flew as a passenger on all B747 types flown by QF. The first 200 series even had a cocktail lounge behind the flight deck. Can also remember there was a massive galley below cabin level where the flight attendants who prepared the trolley's and heated the meals were known as Air Chefs (early B747 models). At least QF have couple of models on display in Australia. Also the legroom in economy was reasonable compared to the seat pitch these days. Can anybody tell me if the early models that QF purchased had the capacity to use Water Methanol for takeoff?
