1. Title: "The Pride of BOAC: Boeing 707-436 G-APFD, the First Delivered 707 for British Overseas Airways Corporation. This photograph showcases the historic moment when Boeing 707-436, registration number G-APFD, touched down at London Airport (now Heathrow) on April 29, 1960. This aircraft marked a significant milestone as it was the very first Boeing 707 delivered to British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC). The Boeing 707-436 was a game-changer in aviation history, offering unparalleled comfort and speed compared to the propeller-driven aircraft of the time. With a cruising speed of over 500 miles per hour, it was a true jet-setter, reducing transatlantic flight times by more than half. The sleek and elegant design of the Boeing 707-436, as depicted in this image, was a marvel of aviation engineering. Its distinctive tail fin, featuring the BOAC logo, proudly announced the arrival of a new era in commercial aviation. The delivery of G-APFD to BOAC was a cause for celebration, not just for the airline industry, but for travelers around the world. This photograph captures the excitement and anticipation of the moment, as the world's attention turned to the skies above London to witness the arrival of this groundbreaking aircraft. This image is a testament to the rich history of aviation and the role that the Boeing 707 played in shaping the way we travel today. It serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and innovation that has driven the aviation industry forward, and the enduring allure of flight. Rights Managed from Mary Evans Prints Online.
