The DC-10 Friendship Tour - 1972
The wide body jet from Douglas was up against competition from Boeing and Lockheed, and all three manufacturers embarked on sales and promotional tours to show case / display their aircraft.
It would be a few years before BCal would order the DC10, but regular orders would see eight new DC10 aircraft join the fleet then later the £1 Billion launch order for the MD-11 would follow.
But in 1972 the Douglas DC10 flew in to Gatwick and was shown to British Caledonian, and we have 2 photos from that day.
