The Boeing 707 prototype first flew in 1954 and the first order was placed by Pan American in 1955. In 1956 BOAC (British Overseas Airways Corporation) ordered 18 of the larger 707-420 ‘Intercontinental’ version of the Boeing 707, powered by Rolls Royce Conway engines instead of the usual Pratt and Whitney JT4A engines.

To comply with British airworthiness requirements a taller fin, rudder and a ventral fin were added. Known as the 707-436 in BAOC service they started flying scheduled services in May 1960.

Described by General Eisenhower as one of the four weapons that helped the Allies to win the Second World War, the Douglas DC3 and its military variant the C-47 Skytrain (Dakota in RAF service) has since gone on to be an instantly recognizable symbol of both air travel and the liberation of occupied lands that so characterized the Second World War. Continuing to serve even today in both modernized and original formats the DC3/C-47 is now seen as a pioneer of air travel.
