Jeff Simmonds is carried onto the Qantas plane by Jack McCafferty and a Qantas staff member as the 1968 Australian Paralympic Team departs Australia for the 1968 Tel Aviv Paralympic Games. At that time, people who were unable to physically climb the aircraft stairs were lifted, sometimes in their chairs and sometimes (as here) out of them.
