Taken on charge in 7.52 and seen in store with 5MU after service with 5 FTS at RAF Oakington. Interestingly this machine had been used along with WL679 at Farnborough in the early 1960s on 'Airborne Rafter' trials in which MI5 attempted to track the radios of KGB agents in Britain using technology similar to TV detectors. Broken up and removed next year

Here just a few days after coming off Lockheed's Palmdale line, the famous PSA smile on this TriStar only lasted another two years before storage at Marana. Converted to 100 Series, leased to Aero Peru in 11.79 and bought by Worldways as C-GIFE in 6.85. Stored again at Kingman in 6.91 and to N125DT for Donald Trump's Ultimate Air Corp in 12.93. After VIP use plans failed, back to being parked up, this time at LAS then OPF where she was finally broken up during 1998 in Worldways c/s
