G-AVZZ
Boeing 707-138B

International Caribbean Airways (leased from Laker Airways)
G-AVZZ is lined up for take-off on Riem’s runway 25. Caribbean titles have been applied on the tail.
G-AVZZ with Laker Airways and later Caribbean Airways was reported at Riem several times during the late 1960s and 1970s: 1969 (11 June, 2 July, 30 July), 1973 (12 May - probably the precise date for this shot), 1974 (20 December), 1977 (19 March), 1978 (29 August),
This airframe started out as B707-138 VH-EBD with Qantas in August 1959 (converted to -138B in 1961), flew as G-AVZZ "Enterprise" with British Eagle between December 1967 and November 1968. It then went on to Laker Airways and was leased to International Caribbean between December 1970 and November 1978. Sold to Charlotte Aircraft/IASCO as N500JJ in December 1978 and scrapped at LBG in July 1983. (Source: 707.adastron.com)
