ID of aircraft?
« on: December 14, 2010, 10:28:17 PM »
Any ideas on this one? Found it amongst a few 35mm slides....taken at Aldergrove, around 1983 I think!

Its Lockheed L1011 Tristar G-BAAB of Court Line (they only had two L1011s and G-BAAA was yellow).


It must have been taken in 1973 or '74 as the airline went bust in August '74.
