Ansett ordered The 737-200 as part of a bulk order of aircraft in the early eighties, they were intended to be a temporary type until the 737-300 became available, the first 767's were ordered at that time as well as the last of the 727's (200LR)
Yes it was a big deal at the time, very well publicised both here and in the US.

Mind you then Sir Peter later changed it all by going European to help his main love (TNT) and bought the A320, BAe146 and F50.
