QANTAS BUMPY LANDING

A Qantas flight from Darwin appeared to be making a smooth landing at Adelaide on November 22 when there was a sudden bump. The captain came on the PA, apologised and explained that the runway had recently been resealed and there was a ridge in the tarmac about which a firm complaint had been lodged. Things must be wearing a bit thin at Qantas what with all the mechanical trouble . As a Little Darwin correspondent walked behind a hostess in Darwin several long threads were seen sticking from her collar. Don’t think unsightly threads and crooked stocking seams were allowed when Ansett hosties and their distinctive pillbox hats were seen aloft. June Dally Watkins would not have approved .
