I started a contribution to Wikipedia on the old British cargo airline, Tradewinds Airways and would like your help. If you have any information or personal photos (not from airliners.net etc) on the aircraft or its operations, either add it to the Wiki at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tradewinds_airways or reply to me here
and I will add it.

I have a personal attachment to the airline as I worked for my father's freight forwarding company in the early 80's and we chartered the Tradewinds 707's for flights from Prestwick to Hartford, CT.

Thanks in advance!

Hi my father was chief training captain for Tradewinds Cargo. Unfortunatly he passed away on the 2nd of December 2005.

However I know we still have a lot of photos and information so I will ask my Mum and look through it all. She also has a model and a plaque with G-SAIL on so will try and take a photo and send to you.

Could you explain a bit more as to why your so interested in Tradewinds as your a long way away.

It may be useful to have a look at the Tradewinds Page on the resurrected:
Airline History
Whilst Sarah uses small size pictures, this may help to contact Photographers who took the pictures including Sarah herself.

Thanks for the input, I will check it out.

As I mentioned in my original post, my father owned a freight forwarding company in the 80's and for a time ran charters from Prestwick to Hartford using Tradewinds 707's. I worked for the company as a youngster before growing up, getting married and moving to California!
Among other fond memories are flying in the jump seat of G-BFEO across the pond; clambering over cargo pallets to reseal the aft door on G-TRAD; and putting the tail stand on G-SAIL - after the airport employees forgot and started unloading!
