Steve is proud to be associated
with the Qantas Foundation Memorial and the project
to return Qantas' first jet aircraft, VH-EBA, to Australia.
Rechristened VH-XBA for the ferry flight from Southend
in the United Kingdom, the Boeing 707-138B aircraft
is now on permanent display at the Qantas Founders Museum
at Longreach in Queensland. The full story of this amazing
restoration project can be read at the
"VH-JET#1and
Her Sisters" website.
The concept of a series of
paintings depicting the aircraft was formulated jointly
with QFM very early in the life of the restoration project.
This resulted in the five paintings displayed here,
the originals of which now reside in the "707 Room"
at the Qantas
Founders Museum.
All the paintings are now
available as limited edition prints, both framed and
unframed, through the museum. Proceeds from the sales
go to assist with the operation, upkeep and long -term
goals of the museum. Unframed prints are also available
direct through this website - click on the images at
