Civil: VC10 (seen an IL62 though); 707;

Military: Lightning; Victor; Valiant; Javelin; Draken; Viggen. Not sure if the B36 was still flying when I was born in 1961, but in case it was, I can add that to the list too.
There are still lots of 707 and their derivatives knocking about - so you should have no trouble seeing at least one of the variants flying.

The E-3 AWACs aircraft are essentially 707s.

The KC-135 tankers and other C-135 variants are from the same family (although fundamentally different in many ways).
This is the one I'd really like to see
