Today 50 years ago: Luftansa's first 707 rolls out
 
Now this might be a bit special for a british audience but look at the nice 707-colour picture gallery from back then. And don't miss that "german looking" gentleman wearing very dark glasses inseat on the third pic.

I still remember as a kid in Liveropool in the 60s with my VHF skymaster radio listening to them crossing the Otringham VOR on there way to the WAL VOR along BLUE 1 routing almost directly overhead my home and with the sunshine making the Lufthansa motif stand out on the tail even at 35,000ft, they were the days.
