This was in the twilight of its career, the TriStar formed the backbone of the RAF's strategic transport fleet. Nine aircraft were on strength with 216 Squadron, based at Brize Norton. Here "Ascot 3723" made a quick getaway from Edinburgh's Runway 24. This photo is copyright © Mark McEwan, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
