Laker Airways McDonnell Douglas DC-10 aircraft on airport tarmac with passengers in foreground, 1980s

A Laker Airways McDonnell Douglas DC-10 aircraft displaying the distinctive 'LAKER' livery sits on an airport tarmac. Passengers can be seen walking on the apron in period clothing, suggesting this photograph was taken during the height of Sir Freddie Laker's transatlantic operations in the early 1980s. The DC-10 was a key aircraft type in Laker Airways' fleet for their pioneering low-cost Skytrain services.
