I'm not sure the entry for QF on the 26th is correct? I Remember it took a couple of days for the Airport to be cleaned and re-opened after Xmas day. Hence the first Ansett Jet out of DRW didn't occur until about the 28th ( i'm checking the date )

Incidentally the First Ansett 727 out of DRW set a record for a 727-200 of 313 pax. ( which I believe may have been beaten by World Airways Danang evac flight March 1975 of 330 on a 727-100 only 3 months later!! )
