You have to remember that there was not a "snap" introduction of the jets, unlike what happened in the USA, and sometimes the jet fleet might increase by only one a year, which did little more than absorb growth. Likewise there were only a handful of Electras, so into the late 1960s the Viscounts were running up the Queensland coast, to Canberra, Tasmania, and comparable points.
