Civilspotter, I will go through my father’s collection, but it won’t be immediately. Also, I can’t remember for the life of me what’s in it. Fingers crossed!
When I was very young my late father gave me his old 28mm cast offs as they weren’t the standard he wanted. I kept hold of them and have dug them up and have tried to make them 35mm and remove the severe damage a 7yr old’s fingers can do! here’s the results:
First of all, the credt for the Air UK F27 photo goes to HP81.
As for the Sterling Caravelle. For me it’s a disappointing shot, but Sterling above all else was the airline where my camera showed it’s weaknesses. Of all my attempts that was the best Sterling shot I got with my 100% manual camera. Incredibly frustrating considering the number of opportunites Stansted gave.
HP81, interesting to hear about the Race 707. I’ve looked it up just to see wahat happened and it had a considerably longer life. Here’s a summary of the aircraft’s history that I’ve found:

Great shots again everyone.
You’re right Interflug 62M, the Dan Air 727 is at Stansted. Behind the Icelandair DC8 is the very same as in your photo Civilspotter – S61 G-BIMU.
