Here is a photo I have in 2200x across size. I believe it was a public release photo by BOAC circa 1970-71. It shows the airport in detail from the southern runway looking north at BOAC 707s and VC-10s on the (then) hotel stands.
I have reduced it to 1200x across for forum display considerations but if anyone wants to download the full size version contact me and I will give a download link.

would say closest 707 is a 436 while the one further aways is a 300 series
Looking at the bigger version I agree. the far jet is a super vc-10 but the nearest 707 has different engines (not RR) and an undertail fin). I think this might have been one of the two original BOAC 707s that went to BEA Airtours in 1972 and I think they were registered g-apf something.
