I'm not actually sure who's the third 707 is - Pelican Airways? A partial Dan-Air scheme?

I lover seeing old pics of airports - American airport pics from the 50s/60s/70s are often a treasure trove of background gems, sadly mostly smelted now.
I think the Cyprus Airways CL-44 must have passed me by completely, but the tail scheme does look right. What were they carrying, fruit and veg perhaps, or textiles - probably a bit too early for the latter, I recall back then the UK still had a pretty big textile industry, especially around these parts. I agree, the 707 tail does look like Korean now you come to mention it.
