Good stuff Damien, nice aircraft and whenever they actually flew most of the sqn was out to have a looksy.
I worked in main stores receiving and would prepare all the parts that came in from various suppliers for inspection.
As a spotter I was always interested to see where the 707 parts came from and usually the paperwork would show which a/c the parts came from (usually from a scrap yard in the US with a list of all the parts they removed from that aircraft).
Surprising how many of the a/c I had actually logged many years ago. Good to see they were still useful after retirement.
I very nearly damaged the elevator of one of them when I was backing out of the hangar after delivering a large crate as I hadn't lowered the forklift mast enough and 'missed it by that much!!'
