Sir Freddie Laker in suit holding ceremonial axe or hatchet, black and white portrait photograph

A black and white portrait photograph shows Sir Freddie Laker in a business suit, smiling while holding what appears to be a ceremonial axe or hatchet. This symbolic image likely relates to Laker's reputation for 'cutting' airline prices with his revolutionary low-cost Skytrain service that challenged established carriers in the 1970s and early 1980s.
