Quite surprised that the sister aircraft with PWA had to stop between Vancouver and London. These early Qantas 707s were a shortened version for extra range, and when refitted with fan engines produced a pretty capable aircraft. I went into Sondrestrom on Wardair's 727, but never on their 707-320Cs, same engines, larger airframe. Pretty sure Laker used to do Gatwick to LAX with their -138Bs.
