Fiest flew as N301EA in 1971. Reregistered as N302EA and delivered to Eastern Air Lines in 1973. To Delta Air Lines as N781DL in 1991. Damaged by a sudden in flight decompression en route from Los Angeles to Honolulu in 1995. Returned to Los Angeles safely. To Lockheed for ground tests at Marietta, GA. Still there in 2023.

Re-registered as N302EA in early 1973, then as N781DL in June 1991. Written off in 1995 due to sudden decompression at 33000 feet on 24 September 1995, the cost of repairs being deemed to be uneconomic. (Aviocar XT.12-1 can be seen in the background with a drooping right wing, caused when the main spar failed as the result of a heavy landing after a display flight earlier that day.)

Delivered new 22nd May 1973 and to Delta as N781DL June 1991

This is actually the 2nd production Tristar. This L-1011 suffered such severe fuselage damage during a decompression incident over the Pacific (HNL-LAX) on August 23, 1995 that it was written off. Ex N302EA.

Seen aproaching 27L at MIA, this 1011 suffered such severe fuselage damage during a decompression incident over the Pacific on August 23, 1995 that it was written off. Later regn was N781DL.

Completing an "S" turn for spacing on short final. Became N781DL with Delta and was DBR in a decompression incident on 8/23/95.

This was the largest aircraft that had visited Castle Donington at that time, taken there to be shown to the Rolls Royce employees that had developed the RB211 engine that powered the aircraft. Same registration N301EA later used on c/n 1002, following delivery in March 1973. This aircraft c/n 1003 then became N302EA. Taken on an old folding roll film camera and scanned from a 6 x 9 cm negative which was probably developed by me in print developer!
