Wub Great photos! Thanks for sharing. Funny how Boeing moved the engine fire handles from the control panel on the 707 to the overhead panel on the 747 and then the centre console on the 777.

Sandringham1 very interesting about your info on FP. I was not aware of that incident.

While on the subject of British Boeing 707s. Many years ago a relative knew the pilot who had flown the Dan Air (Ex Pan Am) Boeing 707 the sector before it crashed at Lusaka in 1977. He had noticed that the stab trim was at an unusual position, almost fully forward and he kicked himself afterwards for not reporting it. Apparently the abnormal position was due to the fact the stabiliser was already bending prior to total failure.
