G-APFC

Boeing 707-436

17704/101

British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC)

 

The slide was undated, but G-APFC was noted at Riem on 7 April 1973, which may well be the date of this shot. The aircraft is taxiing to runway 25 for take-off, with the Rolls-Royce Conway turbofans prominently in view. This shot was taken from outside of the airport fence.

 

First flight on 24 January 1960 and delivered to BOAC on 16 May 1960. Transferred to British Airways in April 1974 and stayed with the airline until wfu and sold back to Boeing in 1975 for destructive testing. The cockpit seems to have ended up at Wade’s Salvage Yard in New Jersey (see link below).
