If i am not mistaken, it more looks as B720 to me then B707-300, BOAC B707 looks as 400 series with RR Convey engines in the back ground. Its a good picture.

Yep, it is indeed a B720, notice the markings on the rear fuselage behind the door in red.

Oh man!!!!!!!! I was sooo close to replicating this picture with my models.

I have the PIA 720B, the EAA VC-10 but NOT the BOAC 707. I have the BOAC VC-10.

Now where do I find a 1/400 BOAC 707-420? Or would the VC-10 suffice?

Guys remember this pic. I will replicate it in every way possible with my models.

Excellent picture! This might be the one standing in planetarium of Lahore/Karachi...

The aircraft in this photo is either AP-AMG or AP-AMJ, most probably it's AP-AMG.

The 720Bs at planetariums in Karachi (AP-AXM) and Lahore (AP-AXL) joined PIA fleet few years later in 1974.
