Donaldson and Lloyd International as we know, used their 707's on holiday charter flights to the Med and Canary Islands, along with the Affinity Group Charters across the pond to Canada and the USA but also flew charters to Africa and the Far East.
Lloyd had a Hong Kong interest, Far East Aviation Co Ltd, a holding company which owned Lloyd International Airways (Hong Kong) Ltd,
The Hong Kong company had on order three DC-8-63CFs which were to be leased to Lloyd International on delivery (August 1968 and May 1969 respectively). They were NTU.

Lloyd went on to obtain 707's from 1970.
G-AYAG B.707‑321 18085 built 07/06/1961 Lloyd Int'l AW ex N759PA Pan Am

G-AZJM B.707‑324C 18886 built 11/06/1965 Lloyd Int'l AW ex N17323 Continental AL. (To British Caledonian)
Lloyd International ceased operations in June 1972, and the 707-321's went back to GATX Leasing who passed them to Bahamas World.
Both Lloyd and Donaldson flew many of the flights from Uganda to the UK for the 30,000 expelled East African Asians who had UK passports.
President Idi Amin began moves to wanting them all out from 1971, and then in 1972 gave them all just 90 days to leave.
At the time, the Asians who ran many of the local businesses, accounted for 90% of the Uganda's Tax Revenue; with their removal, Amin's administration lost a large chunk of government revenue. The economy then all but collapsed.
Donaldson from 1970, had obtained 4 old 707-321's leased from Pan Am (Lloyd, BMA, and DA all took a pair) and three of these for Donaldson had a main deck Cargo door added for bulk freight but not pallets.
I don't think they ever got much cargo work for this conversion as you rarely saw the Cargo doors open at LGW !
Glasgow's Mercury Holidays had a large share in Donaldson.
The 707's were possessed 08/1974 by Pan Am when Donaldson International Airways went under.
BMA British Midland quickly leased all of the ex Donaldson 707's to equip its ''Instant Airline'' Leasing arm, giving BD a total of six 707-321's.
