Note: D-ABOG (2) is Boeing 757-330(WL) c/n 29014/849 still flying for Condor in January 2023.
D-ABOG is lining up on runway 07 for take-off. Lufthansa operated five Boeing 707-430s with Rolls-Royce Conway engines: D-ABOB, D-ABOC, D-ABOD, D-ABOF and D-ABOG.
In the summer of 1976 Lufthansa retired its Rolls-Royce powered Boeing 707-430s. Of the 5 707-430s that the airline owned, 4 of them went on to work either directly or indirectly with infamous Biafra war mercenary pilot, Henry 'Hank' Warton. See here for more details:

First flight 23 February 1961 and delivered to Lufthansa as D-ABOG on 17 March 1961. Sold as N9985F in October 1976. Ended up as 3C-ABH with Bata Intern / Israel Aircraft Industries / Air Sinai. Almost burnt out 6 March 1989 at Tel Aviv-Ben Gurion Airport during fire-exercise; the cockpit remained and was attached to the fuselage of Boeing 707-458 4X-ATA c/n 18070/205 used as a cabin trainer.
