WA Radio Scanner Users' Group

Hi all,

Got access to the aircraft today (Special Thanks to the staff) and was allowed to take photos of it, inside and out.

I must say, a lot has changed since I last saw inside of her. 25th March 2004

All engines have been removed, parts of the leading edge, most of the inside under the floors, nearly everything from the cockpit.




















Time Magazine is from 3rd September 2001

Awesome pics, Many times have I flown out of Perth and wondered the interior state of this last Ansett visual in WA

I wonder if they re-used the parts in other planes?

there have been rumours around for a few years that the parts are going to be used for Training new LAMEs

They're going to use it for Fire Fighter Training.

Hi,
I act as a historian for the Ansett Group. I was with Ansett for over 37 years, before its collapse & acted as a historian for many of those years, including 2 fleet histories published by the Ansett publishing section.

I produce a free monthly Ansett Fleet Update e-mail-based list & a DVD every 2 years, or so (one planned for late-2011).
I would very much like to use some of your photos of the ex-VH-JJT, with full credits given, as I do with all photos etc.

Many thanks,
Fred Niven (Melbourne) - fniven@bigpond.net.au

Fred, expect an email from me mate.

could you please add me to email
