This DC-10 was originally delivered to British Caledonian in March 1977, transferring over to British Airways in April 1988 and is pictured at the holding point for rw26L prior to departure. It was withdrawn from the fleet in December 1998 and converted to a freighter. It was destined for Cargo Lion as LX-TLE, but this fell through, instead, going in April 2001 to Varig LOG as PP-VQY and then to Kelowna Flightcraft in September 2008 as C-GKFB. The plane was withdrawn from use in June 2014 and stored at Hamilton (YHM) and scrapped two years later. This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
