Aer Lingus 707s

For a plane-mad teenager in the '70s, there was nothing to beat the 720s, 707s (and latterly 747s) on which you could hitch a fare-paying ride between SNN and DUB and even BFS. At least once I flew in a 707 from DUB to BFS. A record short scheduled flight for such an aircraft?
Also in contention: AA 707 from JFK to PHL in 1970.
As for charters... saw an Aer lingus 707 at EDI (Turnhouse) doing a rugby charter in ?1971. A lot of aeroplane for a 6,000 ft runway...
