I have just read an article in an aviation magazine featuring the ubiquitious 707.Included was a piece on the flight a fully restored Qantas 707 in the old Qantas livery which was restored in the UK and flown through various countries before arriving in Sydney.

The magazine article unfortunately did not give the flightplan.If any one has an idea what it was,I'd very much like to try that flight.

Thanks

Although I can't find any info on the Flight Plan, this http://www.707.adastron.com/default.htm is an interesting website all about the Qantas Boeing 707's.  I also believe that this has plenty of info about the 707 you are referring to, including a diary of the restoration.
The route could be on it somewhere, I don't really know because I haven't been to every page yet.

Thanks go to Lou for pointing this website out to me.

Here's the page with the itinerary:

Would make for an interesting flight in FSX

Thanks Mark. Apparently it flew UK-Ireland-Canary Islands then westbound arriving in Sydney.

@Bill D. I have actually flown the CS 707 from Los Angeles to Honolulu to Nadi to Sydney, back when I wasn't exactly how far I could fly her on a single flight (I was experimenting with fuel consumption and performance).

@Colevale. Looking at Bill D's link, it could have taken quite a while on the return to Australia. It was definitely a westerly flight home too.

Can I PM you as I seem to have received what seems an authentic message from CaptSim but I need to verify it is genuine?

Thanks

Sure. You don't really need to ask though.

I thought it was manners to ask.

Have sent you a Tweet.Hopefully you will receive it as I do not know where the link is for a PM from within here.

Thanks

I thought you meant the PM capability in here. My phone doesn't Tweet. I'm not using the correct provider for that. I only found out after I signed up on the Twitter.
