Laker Airways DC-10 aircraft undergoing maintenance in front of Douglas Aircraft Company hangar

A Laker Airways McDonnell Douglas DC-10 aircraft positioned outside a Douglas Aircraft Company hangar during what appears to be maintenance operations. This black and white photograph captures the wide-body jet that was central to Sir Freddie Laker's revolutionary low-cost transatlantic service. The Douglas hangar in the background indicates this may be at the manufacturer's facility in Long Beach, California.
