Basic Air Lanka livery after lease

About to land on runway 30 at MIA in January, 1983 with TWA and Delta TriStars below. Still in Air Lanka colours where it wore 4R-ALG while on lease. It was later leased to Gulf Air as A4O-TP.

Photo taken summer of 1983, actual date not logged. Aircraft taxiing away fro stand. I believe the hybrid colours were of Air Lanka.

Delivered new 9th March 1973 and leased to Air Lanka as 4R-ALG 27th May 1981-29th Dec 1981. Leased to Gulf Air as A4O-TP 4th June 1984-1st June 1989 , then withdrawn from use 27th Oct 1990 but re-activated 22nd June 1994 and finally retired at KMZJ (Marana) 14th Jan 1996, scrapped Nov 1999

Pictured shortly after returning from a lease to Gulf Air (A4O-TP June 1994 - May 1989), this L1011 still carried the Gulf Air colors on the radome and rudder. Delivered to Air Canada March 9, 1973, it was also leased to Air Lanka May - December 1981 (4R-ALG). Retired and stored at Marana, AZ in 1990, it was re-activated in 1994 for another few years. Sold to Air Transat circa 1997, the aircraft returned to Marana in September 1999 where it was broken up in 2000.

Leased from Air Canada

The non-standard red cheat lines and rear fuselage was a carry-over from a 1981 lease to Air Lanka.
