Sean Connery BOAC Boeing 707 Photo


The above photo is of a then unknown actor called Sean Connery in the flight deck of a BOAC 707 on his way to Kingston Jamaica via New York. He was on his way to film the 1st James Bond film Dr No.
According to Wiki filming of Dr No started on 16th January 1962. From the copilot's (Derek Yates) logbook the flight was either:
G-APFP on 28th December 1961 with Captain GJ Holton or
G-APFI on 25th Feb 1962 with Captain TJ Hibberd.

If anyone recognises the flight engineer or has any contact with the families of Captain Holton or Captain Hibberd it would be much appreciated if they could identify who the Captain was (or wasn't) and thus the aircraft registration can also be confirmed.
