Ansett TAA East West and BRITISH CONCORDE landing and take off Sydney

[@robertbarnier45]

Great days in aviation. When flying was exciting & enjoyable. Miss those days. Aussie Bob 😊

[@robertbarnier45]

Takes me back. Love it. Thanks. AussieBob 😊

[@boeingfan7179]

Magnifient. So many great aircraft, so much variety, what a nostalgic video, thank you for sharing! Now days we all just bounce around on 737's and A320's. QF used to run the 747 300 on the SYD-PER route, now it's mainly 73's.. It's a bit like crossing the Nullabor in a Datsun 120Y 😆

[@neile.donohoe5951]

WOW - I worked for Ansett back in the 70s/80s and 1st a/c is VH-RMS 727-100 - this was the 1st A/C I despatched - best job I had

[@hcrun]

I love the fact that the markings on the Concorde simply said "British". Nothing else was necessary. Talk about an understatement....that's a superb example.

[@beagle7622]

The Concorde really was the flagship of BA, there is an outstanding 5 hr video of a trip between London & New York showing all the detail of this amazing plane. Each one now has the Flight Engineers hat stuck between the the Engineers Panel where the plane contracted as it cooled after its last Supersonic flight.

[@pm8507]

Nice to know there is a community out there that lived through the reason we appreciate this footage. How the years have got away. Yuppieless Sydney airport is long gone.

[@timwalker5646]

wow lots of memories from flying in the 727. I was fishing down at the old tower when it took off with my Dad it was loud and a different noise then i said Dad look the Concorde we just starred at it while taking off

[@Synthesist82]

Blast from the Past!

[@jamesgovett3225]

Geez the memories, all now a bygone era and that includes all those wonderfull aircraft types and the majority of those Airlines bar a couple! It’s great that you filmed a bit of our Australian history in the early jet age, and to think that the amazing and beautiful Concorde has come and now long gone!👍

[@ericgiddio1259]

Hopelessly nostalgic watching this video. I loved growing up in Mascot and watching how much aviation has changed over the decades. As a kid, my mates & I would sit inside the Ansett terminal with our Tandy scanners and plane spot. You'd get chucked in jail if you did that today. And that footage of the RW07/25 threshold was an unreal spot to get up close to the planes landing & taking off. Great times.

[@rongirt]

Thank you for such a great video...many memories for me as dad was a qantas engineer for many years...used to hang the airport a lot!

[@kurthofer4951]

Thanks , glad you liked it .

[@hamioranetana5966]

Concorde was such a beautiful plane will never be anything like it ever again

[@waltersantos3190]

This brings back some great memories.!

[@antoinedusaer4900]

Nostalgia! A very good video ,but " time goes by" I still like it!

[@richardmacdonald1310]

An era of when my fascination for aviation began, that is one great clip of our past.....when you could get airside for a great picture with the right contact

[@createandliveyourbestlife]

Thank You Kurt Hofer, the film bought back wonderful memories of my years and the privilege to be an Air Hostess on some of the Aircrafts you filmed and the amazing ground crews we got to work alongside.🙏🏻

[@kurthofer4951]

Thank you . Glad you did like the video . I was a ground Engineer for Qantas at that time . And still watch my videos from that time again and again .

[@SteveWilde]

Excellent film! Some classic liveries on show. Great to see the Air New Zealand DC 10!

[@kurthofer4951]

Thanks for your comment .

[@johnd8689]

Great footage Kurt and very well shot.

[@trentmcgee117]

Wow. Thank you. What a great movie. I haven't hear Lilly was here for years. It reminded me how much I dislike it. Nothing the volume can't solve. Thanks again. 😃

[@masteryoda498]

That was a great video, thanks for sharing, some truly beautiful aircraft there, especially the Boeing 747-200 and SP versions.

[@matthewlienert8047]

Thank you for this video. It was very hard to film back then, but surprising you have footage. Thanks for showing.

[@kurthofer4951]

Hi Matthew Thank you . Yes it was my hobby ( still is ! ) Had a Super 8 Film camera with a great slow motion setting., 56 ( ?) Frames per sec.. Normal 18 or 24 .

[@matthewlienert3646]

Kurt Hofer Matthew Travene Lienert is Facebook if you want to look me up no Travene is not my real name for now.

[@ansett7272]

Thanks Kurt, Seems to a great impact, experiences at the time and is missed 1985 on Super 8 film costs at AU$12.00 at the time includes processing and postage 1978 prices for 3 minutes film no sound. Had switched to compact video cassette JVC in 1984 now obsolete and ancient in 2019. I understand that VH- RMS final flight was January 29 1980 with Ansett's passenger last B727-177QC flight AN213 service. For your info. I understand and a great collection:)

[@78benzer78]

Magnificent vid👌 So many memories❤

[@benholder6706]

Love the video! The BA Vc-10 is great in that livery.

[@gordonhohapata3690]

Loved it cheers mate

[@davidpeters6536]

Terrific! Thanks.

[@mysocietyoffaeries]

Nice work, Kurt.

[@jamesarbowen]

Wow thanks for sharing this I really enjoyed watching it.

[@tonforr]

Love this .THANKS !

[@frogsgottalent1106]

Man, I miss those days. Seems like quality of life has been a downward slope since the mid 80's....

[@pm8507]

100% agree.

[@beagle7622]

Back then they used registration letters for call signs eg Romeo Mike Sierra & on overseas flights the Flight No eg Qantas 88.. Flew a lot on East West & Ansett those days. Such a different world then. The Qantas 707’s shown ended the life with the RAAF. The F27 EWW reckon I did at least 5;flights on that. The DC9’s were often fun especially if the pilot was a bit of a real flyer. The pilots I knew loved them. The BA VC-10 was really before my time never saw one here. Did see 2 Concorde in Melbourne. The flap on the wing on the 727 . I vaguely remember that , what is it? An undercarriage indicator? Love the theme song “ Lily was Here” by Candy Dulfer . Brilliant video from a time I travelled a lot.

[@kleines8]

Thanks for your comment !

[@Capt_SteveCranmer]

Great filming particularly for the time

[@limeybumsniffer]

brings back memories I was with Taa Then and watched the take off from domestic side

[@stephenbrogan215]

Stephen Brogan didnt realise son signed in

[@ansett7272]

Yes a great Super 8 film recording... that is what we had at the time... no sound... I have lots of it too... very expensive at the time. Priceless expensive film records of the past in comparison with cheap smart phone videos that we have today 2019 with sound! Thanks Kurt Hofer. Yes I have allot of Super 8 as well. Ansett 727.

[@rodolfoayalajr.8589]

Great memories beautiful. Amen 🙏🏻 🇵🇷🇺🇸🙏🏻.

[@anthonywilfredwong4545]

The Alitalia dc-10 looked magnificent.

[@ansett7272]

Thanks Kurt Hofer for your contribution seeing Ansett Airlines of Australia Boeing 727 VH-RMS QC 177 and VH-RMX Boeing 727-277 Advanced that I have been on board as a domestic passenger and Air New Zealand DC-10 Series 30 international I can't see rego that I have been a passenger numerous times with TE DC10 ZK-NZS, ZK-NZT, ZK-NZM old Air New Zealand code trans Tasman and the Pacific to LAX. It beats the service and quality that can't be delivered today by all another era. I never supported deregulation of the airline industry. Concorde gone and the VC10 was super. Fokker F27 was Ansett Airlines of South Australia VH-PNP, VH-MMR, VH-MMV and other full service in the 1980's. TAA has been great. I always fly with Ansett Airlines of Australia in Economy and in First Class. Did TAA domestic Business Class Economy as well at one time in the 1980's, all good with the introduction of Australian Airlines Logo Boeing 737- 376 August 1986. Miss it all. Ansett 727.

[@ansett7272]

Miss old school and all is running!

[@gordonhohapata3690]

The Air NZ DC10 what I could make out looks to be the ill-fated ZK NZP { Mt erebus} The letter P on the nose wheel door.

[@ansett7272]

​@@gordonhohapata3690 Yes looking at it with highest resolution 5+ minute mark I identify a P on nose door Air NZ DC10.. only just. Old school TE was a great experience on the Big 10 with cockpit visits between HNL and AKL mid Pacific Ocean in the middle of the night... the bright stars... thanks to the Chief Purser of TE at the time February 1981. Kids today have no access to airline cockpits mid flight these days for a visit. ZK-NZP TE901 impact Erebus on 28th November 1979 had a great impact with my life that I will keep private. Thanks gordon hohapata for your observations and contribution. Ansett 727.

[@petermoore45]

Travelled on Romeo Mike Sierra from Perth to Sydney back in 1982'

[@PeterFruits-hm8rc]

The stationary 727 at the start is a -100

[@ansett7272]

Thans Kurt, Was this put together over a time in a cluster? All ok. 1985 does not work out in the time frame. Ansett 727.

[@paulquinlan243]

Wow , 727-100 VH-RMS shown here taxing , many maybe are unaware that this aircraft is sitting currently at Brisbane airport and has been used since its retirement by an aviation school , apparently this beautiful piece of Australian domestic aviation history and also becoming rare 100 series will be scrapped in November 2020 so I've been told, also former TAA Boeing 727-100 VH=TJD sittting over in the UK retired also to be scrapped , not only has the true domestic airline history seemed to be smothered by everything Qantas these days , it seems that the only aircraft saved from destruction is also theirs as well , this is an absolute disgrace. We need to save these beautiful aircraft from both Ansett and TAA /Australian airlines . We must retain our true history, period .

[@ashfaq1999]

Brilliant.

[@skhaleelattingal2335]

Amazing

[@SuperDad58458]

I think the head on shot of the DC10 arriving might be YAT airlines .The old Yugoslav airline that flew into Sydney. Great shots.Especially the Air NZ DC10. Very shiney.

[@kurthofer4951]

Hi Jeff ,Thanks . Yes I think you are right .

[@KG1970.]

Looked like AZ D10

When ANSETT and AUSTRALIAN AIRLINES hadn't been killed off by non Melbourne interests .

[@davidjeffery7387]

Footage is good, bt the music is annoying!! Isn't it all about the sound of the engines!!!???

[@surgoneroko5979]

Prophet solomon and prophet muhammad magical thing

[@pauldaniels478]

the DC10 shot is Alitalia - I’d be interested to know what year this was taken - Concorde started services in 76 so would have been around then. My knowledge of when TAA and Ansett has a livery update is limited but would give an idea when this was taken

[@wavecentral]

Can't be any earlier than 1983, as there's an Ansett 767-200 at 7:45

[@kurthofer4951]
