The Boeing Collection
From a collection of some 500 Boeing slides that I've had scanned from my archives. Hope they will provide some enjoyment and nostalgia from a bygone age.
Lineas Aereas Paraguayas SA Boeing 707-321B ZP-CCE hiding in the Pan Am maintenance hangar at London Heathrow. An extremely rare visitor :) An unusual visitor to Heathrow, diverted in for some unscheduled maintenance - probably a replacement engine - seen in the Pan Am hangar.
ZP-CCE c/n 18841 - Boeing 707-321B was delivered new to Pan American World Airways (Pan Am) as N410PA in Apr 1965 and was named 'Clipper Argonaut'. The aircraft flew with Pan Am until 1978, and then along with sister ship N415PA was sold to Lineas Aereas Paraguayas SA (LAPSA). The aircraft flew with LAPSA until 1992, and was then stored at President Stroessner International airport, Asuncion where it gradually rotted away. The fuselage was eventually preserved at San Lorenzo, Paraguay around 2012.
Taken with a Soviet made Zenith E camera and 300mm lens. From an original slide, scanned and unrestored.

“She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes...”

Funny old day today, weather wise - torrential rain followed by bright showers. Annoying. Makes me feel a bit unsettled I think.
Anyway this is Finlay (and a bird, behind) about to come down the slide.
