Laker Airways DC-10 aircraft on tarmac with passengers walking towards it at airport

A Laker Airways DC-10 aircraft sits on the tarmac displaying the distinctive 'LAKER' livery in white fuselage with blue and red striping. Passengers can be seen walking across the apron towards the aircraft, suggesting this captures a typical boarding scene from Sir Freddie Laker's pioneering low-cost transatlantic airline operations. The photograph appears to be from the late 1970s or early 1980s during Laker Airways' operational period.
