In two days, I was treated with two take-offs and landings of this gorgeous 707. According to local spotters the old lady was rehearsing for the flypoast over Madrid on Hispanic Day, 12 October.

A real treat for me was the arrival of this aircraft at RIAT 2006. The aircraft carries a title on the nose Royal International Air Tattoo 2006

This was one of the last civilian 707 airframes to be built and was delivered to Saudia as HZ-ACK in 6.77, being recruited by the government as HZ-HM3 two years later. Later repainted in the current Saudia colours and converted to tanker demonstrator in 2005 by Omega (N707MQ). Headed the historic line up of the Boeing Commercial Family, 707 through 777, for the 787 launch at Paine Field on 07th July 07

Delivered to Saudia in 1.68 and seen here in an early livery, this 707 was bought back by Boeing in 7.87 then the R Australian AF which used it for spares at Richmond, NSW

Parked at the Oceanic Building - now LHR's Terminal 2,
