This sure sounds like QANTAS with the flight either continuing on to or originating in Australia, of course.

If so, aircraft was a Boeing 707 "V-Jet".

As for the routing, it was probably something like:

London-Rome-Athens-Teheran-Delhi-Hong Kong-Manila-Sydney

Or....

London-Rome-Teheran-Delhi-Hong Kong-Manila-Sydney

Or....

London-Vienna-Teheran-Delhi-Hong Kong-Manila-Sydney

Some of these flights may have stopped at Brisbane as well.

Good on ya, Mate! QANTAS it was! Here are the flights and routings:

QF 751 SYD-MNL-HKG-PLV-THR-FCO-LHR

QF 755 SYD-MNL-HKG-PLV-THR-ATH-LHR

QF 759 SYD-BNE-MNL-HKG-PLV-THR-VIE-LHR

PLV = New Delhi
