Leased from Flying Tiger this bare metal 707 was carrying minimal El Al markings. This was the aircraft depicted in the 1970 film "Airport". At the end of the movie, N324F is seen on the tail while in the hangar. Joe Patroni walks under the tail of the 707, swinging a box of cigars. He taps the underside of the aircraft with the cigar box. "Nice going, sweetheart," The aircraft was depicted as being as much a hero as the pilots that flew the stricken aircraft in the classic disaster film.

Monique Agazarian's Island Air Services had the rights to Pleasure Flights at Heathrow's Ground enclosure in the mid 1950s. In addition to G-AFFB, G-AGJG, G-AGUF they hired G-AGZO from Marshall Flying Services. The Rapides would blast straight across the grass to the runway and slot into the traffic pattern at the Towers discretion. Note high tech security fence and BOAC white tail Constellation climbing from 28R.
