Still sorting through piles of negatives and found these. Cathay Pacific 707 and Convair 880 by the blast fence outside the HAECo hangars. CP only had a couple of the Convairs left when I was there, New 747s and Tristars were coming on stream.
Second picture is BOAC/British Airways 747 during the livery transition.
Did you know that registration to Civilian Aviation is completely free and brings you lots of added features? Find out more....
A couple from far Cathay

Re: A couple from far Cathay
They are both Boeing 707's by the look of it
Re: A couple from far Cathay
I know I took a photo or two of the CV880 and think this is one of them. Note different engines and the nose down attitude of the nearest aircraft. Think the tail is thinner too. I may be wrong and it was a long time ago.garryrussell wrote:They are both Boeing 707's by the look of it

The thinner tails is the aircraft turned slightly more away. Both have the 707 type fin tip LE aeriel.
Doesn't look like Convair engines
I'd put money on them both being 707's

Re: A couple from far Cathay
the engines on the '880 were completely streamlined with no noticable extruding cowling.
Have to agree that these are both 70's
Brilliant pictures though waghorn!!
