The Boeing 747 ‘Jumbo Jet’ revolutionised air travel. Its huge size and efficiency reduced the cost of flying and made international travel commonplace. By December 2013 a total of 1,482 747s had been manufactured.

The first Boeing 747 made its maiden flight on 9 February 1969 and they began entering service in January 1970.

The major external difference between the 747-300 and earlier versions was the extended upper deck that allowed the airliner to carry more passengers.

The first 747-300 made its maiden flight on 5 October 1982 and the first one for airliner service was delivered in 1993.

A total of only 81 of this version were manufactured before the 747-400 entered service.

The final 747-300 flight was made by Qantas in December 2008.

This model represents VH-INJ, which flew for Ansett International between August 1994 and August 1999.
