Just about any modern aircraft is no longer equipped with ADF as standard, reason being that they are built in America and America doesn't really use NDBs at all from what i understand (good on'em i say! ). So its not just Qantas, it'll start creeping out to GA as older aircraft are replaced and/or ADFs become too expensive and harder to find! Not to mention with GPS becoming more and more widespread and reliable.
