On checking my logbook, I find that I operated as F/O on a TAA evacuation flight on 29th December 1974. The aircraft was B727-200 VH-TBJ and the Captain was Ron Black. I don't recall who was the F/E. We flew from BNE to DRW then direct to SYD where we disembarked our pax at the International Terminal which was being used as a reception centre for evacuees. I seem to remember a figure of about 232 pax on board.
During the ensuing 4 weeks I operated a further 5 flights out of DRW to BNE with Capts Tom Bennett, Cliff Meares & Keith Galloway, but these were operated with normal pax loads.
