Non-Stops from Syd-LAX and One-Stops to LHR

[Critical Reynolds No]

Hello Everyone,

Does anyone know when the first non-stop flights across the pacific began, what airline and what type? I beleive it may have been Pan Am and the 747-SP back in the late 70's. When did Qantas non-stop services begin?

As with flying the other way to London, when did the first one- stop service start and with what aircraft? Was it with the 747-300?

Thanks
