The first release (dated 2008) honours two diverse Australian passenger aircraft. The oldest and the newest – the Avro 504K and the Airbus A380.

Avro 504K
After successful service over Europe during World War I and as a training and private use plane, Qantas took delivery of its first aircraft the Avro 504K in 1921. This single engine wooden structured bi-plane carried two passengers and was used for joy flights, air taxi services and promoted the future advantages of air transport to thousands of Australians.

Airbus A380
The largest passenger jet ever built carrying between 500 to 800 passengers, with a cruising speed of 900 km/h. This true giant of the air is 73 m in length, with a 79 m wingspan and total weight of 540,000 kg. Designers claim it will actually increase efficiency, use less fuel and generate less noise; Qantas will introduce the Airbus A380 to its fleet of commercial aircraft in late 2008.

The experience with most decimal coins that are released as part of a series over a few years is that the first set is always the most difficult to get - don't miss out on this one!
