Ben's 2 IAS CARGO AIRLINES/DAN AIR B707 freighters are both extremly rare and very welcome additions to the HJG inventory .... thank you Ben !
I stand to be corrected .... but .... I think these 2 aircraft were the only B707-320C's ever operated by DAN AIR .... whom leased them both to IAS CARGO AIRLINES prior to that airline acquiring DC8-50F's.
In fact I think one of these 2 B707's (I don't know which one) was written-off on approach into Lusaka during the very late 1970's. Undetected corrosion caused the starboard elevator to fail during the approach .... which resulted in the aircraft then plummeting to the ground and killing everyone aboard.

The one written off Mark was G-BEBP, which also was an ex- Pan Am machine, i am aware that this aircraft was a mix of both schemes but i cannot source any images (I am aware this aircraft had the same titling as G-BEVN But with windows).

YEAH .... that's what I've just found too in my book of "ATTRITIONS" .... B707-321C
G-BEBP
IAS Cargo Airlines
Near Lusaka, Zambia
May 14th 1977I suspect G-BEBP probably wasn't in service long enough to be photographed extensively  .... hence imagery relating to that particular aircraft in DAN Air/IAS livery is relatively scarce  Mark C AKL/NZ |

I am led to believe that G-BEZT was the 4th -321C Operated by Dan Air, but again, no photos!!!
