Guest richmondtroy Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Richmond RAAF is getting regular flights in and out of the base from a brightly coloured DHL dc-8 (or at least i think it is). Would anyone know the purpous of these flights at all? Troy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Glenn Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Hi Troy, good to see you back. The DHL plane would be a 727. I can help you with that but not what its doing there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest richmondtroy Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 It definately isn't a 727, it looks like a skinny 707, but longer. Got 4 engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mick.B Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 It would be Strategic Aviations DC-8. They do contract transport work for the ADF. See their website. http://www.strategicaviation.com.au/defence.html Seeya Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chainsaw Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 No I also don't think its VH-DHE as shown in that wonderful photograph above (LOL). You are right Mick SA DC-8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest richmondtroy Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Its definately a dc-8 but it wears the DHL colours. Would strategic aviation contract work out to DHL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
