Back home at the Qantas maintenance base following a flight to commemorate the 60th annivesary of the first service by Trans Australia Airlines using this very aircraft! The original flight departed Melbourne/ RAAF Laverton for Sydney. Laverton had to be used as the sealed runways at Essendon were being constructed at the time.
