I have a picture of the general arrangement of Boeing model number 707-7-24, identified as the 367-80. I tried to post an attachment but it appears that I am not permitted. I'll keep trying.

-80

Mr. Ried UK. Since I worked on the 367-80 I feel that I might have some knowledge about it. The Boeing model number was 707 and the prototype had that designation pasted all over the exterior. If the...
