No confusion Staionair the aircraft that I'm talking about and the principality proposal were defininitely Comet 4.
We had Caravelles into Sydney as well. They were the beasts that popped their drogue shutes all over the active runway at peak morning rush when they thought they were running out of runway.Getting the shute into the van with a wind up while all the domestic operations were waiting was interesting to say the least.
As far as I remember the only Caravelles on regular service into Austrlia were French, (UTA, Air Caledonia and later Air Calin). Never saw a charter one although Sterling Philipines did operate a couple out of Manilla for a time but to the best of my knowledge not into Australia.
