Oh nice ... I like those 700's even more than the classic 300's. Really cool bird! Which one is it?

From what my supervisor said who actually used to work on some of them, and the discovery channel:
The First one VC-135E is based off the 707-320
The 3rd and 4th RC-135W are based off the 707-320's with the GE Upgrades.
Last E-6 is based off the 707-320B with the GE upgrades.

I met an american women once, she worked with the AWACS at waddington, somthing to do with boeing, and getting parts for them.

But she didnt know the nimrods (which you can somtimes see at waddington when they work!) heritage was in the comet, and thats even older than the 707!

'tis indeed a classic, the 707. Great aircraft. Nice shots btw!
