A Laker Airways McDonnell Douglas DC-10 wide-body aircraft sits on the airport tarmac, photographed from ground level across a grassy area. This aircraft was part of Sir Freddie Laker's revolutionary Skytrain service that pioneered low-cost transatlantic air travel in the 1970s and early 1980s. The distinctive Laker livery features the airline's name prominently displayed on the white fuselage with red accent stripes.
