Thanks rog. I expect EIN had a plan or two for the 707 given that they lasted for around fifteen years after the 747 came along. Interesting too that one of their jobs was IT charters, among several other airlines whom also used the 707 for this purpose, e.g. TAP Air Portugal and Air Atlantis, Britannia (briefly) and JAT. I'd venture a reliable if not necessarily economical means of moving more than 130 punters to the Med at once.
