Episode Details

In 1979 the Royal Australian Air Force acquired two Boeing 707s and began operating them as part of 33 Flight in 37 Squadron. 37 Squadron's David Holbourn was the RAAF's first B-707 Qualified Flying Instructor and led 33 Flight. You can hear all about this incredible part of 37 SQN's history from the man that created the capability, along with the story of Dave's career.

And a reminder: The Workhorse podcast is going to do a video in Jan 2027 featuring the best photos of RAAF C-130s, the people the flew, maintained and supported them, or anything remotely associated with RAAF C-130s (and, we'll take foreign C-130 photos too). Post your pictures on a RAAF C-130 Facebook page or email them to spartan.spirit@yahoo.com
