From a very yellowing copy of the January 1975 issue of the Qantas News, I have reproduced verbatim the Qantas rescue effort. Unfortunately, aircrfat regos are not provided. The same can be said for flying by the domestiques. I will rey to post a couple of stories about the airlift later - a scanner would be useful!!
Here's what I could dig up. Not much, but something to add. Hope this helps.

History should not be forgotten. No matter how long ago it happened.
