Qantas first Boeing 707 wearing the early colour scheme and with the initial lower height fin. It is powered by the original non-turbofans, replaced in 1961 when it became a series 138B. Note Heathrow's hi-tec security - a no entry sign for spotters to lean on! This photo is copyright © R.A.Scholefield, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
