I think you're probably out, maybe by just a year. Eagle went bankrupt in November 1968. They were indeed, however, the last operator to actually base a charter fleet (as opposed to doing charters in scheduled fleet spare time) from Heathrow. Tour operator Lunn-Poly (who Eagle had a shareholding in at the time) were a major client of these services.
