Originally VH-EBI of Qantas.

Several gate doors to the ramp were open, so I walked out and started shooting. After awhile a ramp agent drove over and said, "don't get run over by an airplane", and drove off. I didn't.

VH-EBI was delivered to Qantas in August 1961 and withdrawn in September 1968. The following year it was sold to Braniff as N105BN.
