Holiday jets again - this time, the Boeing 707 and 720
An aircraft perhaps not as economical to operate as a factory fresh 737-200 but plenty of them around on the used market by the 1970s, not that expensive to acquire, greater capacity and greater range than the more junior Boeings, 1-11s and so on. Needing three flight crew might have been a disadvantage from a payroll perspective but it also meant the plus of having an Engineer on hand down route, for those 'technical times'.
Operators:
BEA Airtours, then British Airtours
Britannia Airways
British Midland
Donaldson - please advise if I'm wrong
British Caledonian
Laker Airways
Lloyd International
Monarch Airlines
Dan Air
Air Malta
Aer Lingus
