G-BELO DC-10-10

Manchester, May 1978. This is DC-10 line number 2. It first flew on 17 December 1970 as N101AA, later becoming N10DC with McDonnell Douglas. Laker acquired it in June 1977 (allegedly at a good price as it had been a prototype aircraft) and it subsequently served with American Trans Air (N183AT), Calair and Novair (G-GCAL) before conversion to a "flying hospital" for Orbis as N220AU.
