Photo Comment

Seen here crew training soon after becoming the first TriStar to be based in Europe. Unfortunately the 'Halcyon Days' didn't last too long and on 15.8.74 Court Line collapsed. Bought back by Lockheed and eventually became Cathay Pacific's VR-HHV in 1977, staying with them for the next 20 years. After that she had an itinerant career as EI-CNN with Aer Turas, TBG, Kampuchea A/l and Air Scandic, being placed into storage at Abu Dhabi in 7.00 and ultimately scrapped in 11.06
