Sir Freddie Laker shaking hands with female airline crew member beneath DC-10 aircraft engine on airport tarmac

Sir Freddie Laker, founder of Laker Airways, shakes hands with a uniformed female crew member on the tarmac beneath the engine of what appears to be a DC-10 aircraft. This photograph from the Laker Bahamas team collection captures a moment during Laker Airways' operations, likely during the airline's expansion into Caribbean routes in the late 1970s or early 1980s.
