Will we ever see London - Sydney non stop?
adding to Slasher's note, this was a delivery flight as I recall dressed up for
PR purposes. With a bit of commercial pressure inflight replanning finally stretched it to Sydney .. I recall from an RAeS lecture (years ago) regarding the flight that it wasn't overly comfortable for the last bit.
High density cold soaked fuel with the aircraft towed out to the runway .. but it made a good
PR yarn at the time.
