Hi TheFinn
Again good work on the pickups.
I notice they have put an extra (3rd)VHF blade antenna on the roof just in front of the vertical stabiliser.
B707's generally only had 2 VHF systems fitted with #1 VHF antenna on top of the fuselage and #2 underneath (#2 antenna was commonly painted with high visibility candy stripes to prevent ground staff walking into them whilst ducking under the fuselage and also to prevent low ground equipment hitting them when in use )
Boeing introduced the #3 VHF system as standard on their 747's along with the trailing wingtip HF probe antennas.
Funny they got the above mentioned stuff right on their Legendary 707 version ?
Regards
Felks
