707 at Southend
I was up at Southend for the Vulcan open day the other day and I spotted a white 707 with what looked like the registration VN-XBA on the tail. does anyone know the history or what it is doing there?

I believe that it was the first 707-138 operated by QANTAS VH-EBA. The Outback Museum at Longreach is trying to restore it with the assistance of retired QF engineers to fly it back to Australia to be an exihbit with a 747-200 already there.

Can anyone point me to a thread for the Qantas 707 at Southend?
Boeing have been requested to help out with the functional testing and I probably will be going.
Our information is vague at best, I have already helped them out with some nose gear scissor pt Nos, via a third party.
It would help us if we knew if we need to access to our "My Boeing fleet" information network for Service bulletin's or drawings, or any other relevant information.

I believe the aircraft is out-side bay 4 of ATCs maintenance facilities, and they are providing assistance with the programme, tooling stores etc, so they could probably help with this if needed.
PM me if you need any further information.

All Boeing aircraft are on My Boeing Fleet, if you have access to it.
It covers everything, from parts to drawings and Service bulletins, and much more, but you have to be authorised to have access.
If you don't have access then
