My family and I left on December 30th 1974 pretty much first thing in the morning. I still remember the pre-dawn bus trip around all the schools etc watching the bus driver trying to pick his way in the total blackness around the streets of Nakara. I have a photo of boarding the TAA 727-200. There was also a QF742 and a MMA F28 on tha tarmac. My memory however as a 7 year old is dim. We went DRW-BNE but don't remember a stop in ISA. My Mother tells me it was all adult pax to a seat and everyone nurse a child.
In one of the photos taken as we taxied out there is an F27 parked out front of where the Aero club used to be (Southern side of the airport then). The F27 is wearing a scheme similar to Aircruisings, (but of course they weren't around then). There is also a very sad looking bright yellow C310 that certainly wasn't parked that way up against the side of what was eventually the Lloyd's Hangar.
