air angola 707
Came into Larnaca on Thursday and there was a tired looking Angolan 707 on the tarmac, just behind it was a civil registered VC10 (didn't see the name) anyone got any further info. I love coming to Cyprus, there's always something different on the tarmac.

Angola Airlines definitely did have some 707's up until fairly recently. However, as to whether any are still flying I have no idea. The last I heard, they were still un-hushkitted.
The Angolan Government operates a 707 - but that is not in Angola Airlines colours.
As for the VC-10, as Jetstream said must have been an IL-62. There are no more civil VC-10's left flying

Confirming the above posts, I believe the last civil-registered VC10 to fly belonged to HM Sultan Qaboos of Oman (A40-AB). He kindly donated it to the museum at Brooklands (UK) in 1987, where it still resides. If the one you saw at LCA definitely wasn't in RAF markings, then it must have been the ubiquitous Il-62.
It is rumoured that Angola Air Charter may still have a serviceable 707
