München-Riem
1972-12-31 (31 December 1972)
G-AZZC "Eastern Belle"
McDonnell Douglas DC-10-10
46905/47
Laker Airways
A very early DC-10 visitor to Riem, possibly the second one, seen only a few days after the first visit of the type on 23 December 1972 with THY's TC-JAV.
Laker DC-10s were among the first widebodies at Riem in the early 1970s along with those from THY, ONA, Swissair, KLM and TIA.
Information from airliners.net - thanks to Ian Gains:
G-AZZC was Laker Airways 1st DC-10, and the 1st DC-10 on the United Kingdom Civil Register. Built in 1972, she served with Laker for 10 years. In those years, DC-10-30's and A300's had joined their fleet, so she moved on to a plethora of carriers and home bases until the mid 1990's. She was eventually broken up at Marana, AZ in 1998.
