Sir Freddie Laker in brown suit descending aircraft stairs with police officer and Laker Airways flight attendant

Sir Freddie Laker, founder of Laker Airways, descends aircraft stairs wearing a brown double-breasted suit and carrying a briefcase. He is accompanied by a British police officer in traditional helmet and a Laker Airways flight attendant in the airline's distinctive red and white uniform. This appears to be from the height of Laker Airways' operations in the late 1970s or early 1980s when Laker revolutionized transatlantic air travel with his low-cost Skytrain service.
