A dramatic low-angle black and white photograph showing a Laker Airways DC-10 aircraft named 'Western Belle' parked on the tarmac. This image captures one of Sir Freddie Laker's Skytrain fleet aircraft that revolutionized low-cost transatlantic travel in the late 1970s. The aircraft hangar visible in the background suggests this was taken at Laker Airways' operational base.
