I would like to congratulate Qantas on the tremendous effort they made to put the A380 over Sydney to commemorate Nancy-Bird Walton’s wonderful life.
When I heard the A380 named Nancy-Bird Walton was going to fly over the city, I just couldn’t believe the fortunate situation that the plane was in Sydney. It appears it had arrived earlier that morning and had to depart again at 3.30pm.
Everyone leapt in and worked hard to ensure it could get airborne. I was standing outside St Andrew’s Cathedral at 12.00pm when it flew over, incredibly low. It was a magnificent sight and a very fitting credit for Nancy.
Thanks to everyone at Qantas for a great effort.
