That picture stirs memories of salmon paste sandwiches, a flask of tea, Golden Wonder crisps and a Penguin biscuit in my pack lunch, high up on the Queens Building terrace....kids of today don't know what they've missed.
On a serious note (albeit slightly left of thread), there must have been considerable trade links between UK and Lebanon at that time, as LHR would receive a steady flown of MEA and TMA aircraft on any particular day in the late 70's, early 80's. MEA and TMA 747's were pretty regular.
