Boeing Jet Chartered for RAAF Personnel Return
The RAAF has chartered a Qantas Boeing jet to repatriate its personnel and dependents from Malaya. Deputy Minister for Air Fairbairn said the last aircraft would leave Sydney today with 129 passengers bound for Butterworth, Northern Malaya, then return with a similar number to Sydney. Six shorter flights were planned monthly through January 1964 to alleviate shipping constraints and avoid extending duty tours. RAAF personnel served in Malaya with the Commonwealth Strategic Reserve for two to 24 years.
