TAA 727-100
The block time from Sydney to Essendon (Melbourne) was substantially reduced compared to the Vickers Viscounts and to a lesser extent the Lockheed Electras. Flying from Sydney to Melbourne on a lunchtime flight in a TAA B727-100 in November 1964 and the cabin was a lot quieter than the Comet 4. However if you were seated at the rear of the aircraft you had two noisy JT8d engines either side and one mounted up in the tail. Even though I was a primary schoolboy I can still remember the feverish rate at which the air hostesses served the meals. The galley was located in the middle of the cabin. I think the air time was less than an hour. The only other jet airliner that frequented Essendon was the BOAC Comet 4 because of its shorter takeoff and landing performance compared to the B707 and DC8.
TAA called their B727's T Jets and Ansett called their's Fan Jets.
From memory the TAA B727 carried 112 passengers.
