Originally N723PA "Clipper Viking" with Pan Am this aircraft subsequently had a very colourful history too long to detail here, but it achieved fame on 11th October 1979 when it took off from Bristol Lulsgate Airport for Kuwait "after using every inch of runway….the aircraft extensively damaged approach lighting, carried a quantity of hedge and tree with it to Kuwait, and left behind at Lulsgate large sections of both inner flaps."! It was eventually impounded at Ankara in 1981 and scrapped there soon after.

Operated by Pan Am from 1959 to 1970 as N723PA. Then YU-AGA and N711UT, later 9Q-CRY. [Nikkormat FTn + Nikkor 50mm/2]

Operated by Pan Am from 1959 to 1970 this 707 led an interesting life. Seen in 1974 at Heathrow after returning from a lease to JAT as YU-AGA she was later N711UT and 9Q-CRY when it was impounded at Bristol then stolen at night and operated for a further 3 months before it was seized again in Ankara in 1980 where it was broken up. Note the unusual reg no position. Scanned from a slide.

JAT initiated services to Australia as a series of regular charters using YU-AGA, which was leased from Pan Am.

Leased from Pan American from February 1960 until return to PAA in December 1962 following delivery of PIA's Boeing 720s.

Leased to JAT as YU-AGA from 1970 to 1974. Became N711UT.
