What were Qantas 707s doing so far away from home ? Were the aircraft still actually owned by the airline at the time ?.
Prior to the Boeing 747 entering service with Qantas in 1972 the airlines Boeing 707 were used on the Kangaroo routes so no real surprise to have seen them doing circuits at Stansted at that time.
