That's a different airline. Laker Bahamas emerged in the 1990s. The Wikipedia page lists it as being USA airline. The 707s under discussion were the ones in basic Laker (first incarnation) colours with Caribbean Airways titles that were hanging around Gatwick and Manchester in the late 70s or so. I remember seeing one at Manchester when we went on holiday to Rhodes. We used to shlep down to Manchester as Enterprise Holidays did free child-places!
