As a one time QF employee, I think it's the most iconic aircraft in Qantas' history, it's also totally fitting that it was the last major aircraft purchased by Qantas that was experienced by Hudson Fysh, before his passing in 1974. I used to think as a young kid how remarkable it was that he (and others) started the airline having been born before there were aeroplanes, with a string and wood biplane (the 504K) and he lived to see that company operate the Boeing 747.
