Sir Freddie Laker in business suit holding ceremonial axe, smiling at camera in black and white portrait photograph

A black and white portrait photograph shows Sir Freddie Laker, founder of Laker Airways, dressed in a formal business suit and tie while holding what appears to be a ceremonial axe or hatchet. The image likely relates to Laker's reputation for 'cutting' airfare prices with his revolutionary Skytrain service that democratized transatlantic air travel in the 1970s.
