McDonnell Douglas DC-10 aircraft in green livery with 'LAKER NO1' markings undergoing maintenance in hangar

A Laker Airways McDonnell Douglas DC-10 aircraft in distinctive green livery with 'LAKER NO1' markings sits in a maintenance hangar surrounded by scaffolding and ground equipment. This appears to be during the airline's operational period when Sir Freddie Laker pioneered low-cost transatlantic flights with his Skytrain service. The aircraft shows the characteristic Laker Airways color scheme that made the fleet instantly recognizable during the late 1970s.
