Scanned from a 35mm print, this photograph shows this 757 taking to the air from Runway 06R (now designated 05R). This aircraft first flew for Eastern Airlines in The United States in 1983, joining the UK register in 1995. It returned to the US in 2002, flying for Evergreen International, before finally being scrapped in 2008. Whilst flying for Airtours/MyTravel, an airline insider told me that it was 'affectionately' known as 'Passengers In Deep ****', due to its registration and propensity for going tech.
