| Updated 10-Nov-70, collection complete. 1982 was the year Laker Airways stopped operating. The A300, DC-10 & One Eleven in this collection had been impounded at Manchester. B.Cal bought all 4 of Lakers 1-11's and as B.Cal's Station Manager I stayed in the office until after midnight on 1st April and took delivery of G-AVBW from the Liquidator. I was surprised to find that aircraft have an owners logbook, just like a car (one careful owner, never been raced etc) !!! It became G-BKAU the following morning. Also this year was the visit to the UK of His Holiness the Pope. The two B.Cal S-61N's featured here were used as 'Papal One' & 'Papal Two'. |
