G-MULL British Caledonian McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30 taxies for take off at London Gatwick

Gatwick in the 80s - a view from the Roof Terrace of British Caledonian DC-10 G-MULL seen here heading for a runway 26 take-off at London Gatwick. Some light infiltration on this one ;)

G-MULL c/n 47888 - McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30, was delivered new to Ariana Afghan Airlines as YA-LAS in September 1979. The aircraft flew with the airline until 1985. The aircraft was then sold to British Caledonian as G-MULL. Transferred to British Airways in April 1988 after the demise of BCal, flying with airline until 1999. After conversion to a freighter in 2001, the aircraft became N47888 with Centurion Air Cargo. After flying for another nine years, the aircraft was withdrawn in 2010, and stored at Sanford, Orlando. The aircraft still remained stored in 2014. Fate unknown - presume broken up.

Taken with a Soviet made Zenith TTL camera and 300mm lens, using Kodacolor CP100 print film. Scanned from the original negative without restoration.
