I can remember myself and a school friend a few days later hanging around outside the small door at the side of hangar 89 hoping for a glimpse of it. Someone duly opened the door - we were half expecting to get told to clear off - only to get invited in for a tour by a friendly engineer who seemed just as excited about the new arrival as we were. (707's were practically unheard of at LTN prior to Britannia getting theirs - G-AYEX was their other one which arrived in British Caledonian colours on or before 1/10/71).
This is the only pic I could find of it in its World Airways guise.
