G-AZLT and she rebuilt with wings off G-BAPD or PE and re-regd G-BMAT!

BMA also bought 2 SAA 707-344A's (PW JT4) took them to EMA but they got sold on and scrapped I recall
we never used them in the end

they had full width leading edge flaps fitted i recall (non Standard on a 707-320/420 coal burner)
