Qantas ground crew say goodbye to this once Qantas flagship and world record holder of non-stop London to Sydney flight. Just about to make its last and shortest flight ever of only 12 minutes down to Illawarra Airport. There it will be handed over to the Historical Aircraft Restoration Society (HARS). "City of Canberra" with it's world record still in hand has flown about 84 million kilometres and is part of aviation history, so a big thank you to Qantas for donating this very special aircraft.
