<p><strong>G-MULL<br />Spetember 1981</strong> sees <strong>Ariana Afghan</strong> DC-10<strong> YA-LAS</strong> get ready to depart Frankfurt in what was then West Germany. Delivered in <strong>September</strong> <strong>1979,</strong> she flew for Ariana until <strong>1985</strong> when British Caledonian aquired her and was given a UK registration of G-MULL. This was carried through to the British Airways takeover of B-Cal until the aircraft was stored at Manchester in the late 90s. Conversion to freighter followed and she still flies today with <strong>Centurion Air Cargo as N47888</strong> (Captain Mike)<br />photo and copyright  <strong>Zippys Revenges</strong> at flicker.</p>

<p><strong>DAS DC-10</strong> It started life with British Caledonian. photo from Doug Bull. filckr. copyrights Doug Bull) <strong>Oct 9 2003:</strong> Another rare bird for me... a DAS Air Cargo DC-10F... an airline Ive only seen at Schiphol and a rare siting of a DC-10 with the exception of Northwest Airlines which remains one of the last large mainline carriers to fly this plane. DAS DC-10 is a converted freighter making it even more unusual. It started life with British Caledonian then moved over to Continental Airlines. In 2006 it was re-registered as 5X-JCR but as of September 2007 the airline shut down their operations and is no longer flying. Photo: This is the freighter version, a DC-10-30F built in 1980 as a passenger plane for British Caledonian Airlines. DC-10s flew in competition with the Lockheed L1011 and later the A300 as a trijet slightly smaller capacity airliner often in companionship with the larger Boeing 747. Later the Boeing 757, 767 and A310 opened up the even smaller (large) capacity airliner market the DC-10 eventually found itself as a gas gussling three engined plane in a twinjet world. Its successor the slightly larger capacity MD-11 didnt find the same success as the DC-10 had in its hayday... both airplanes are out of production and McDonnell Douglas, its manufacturer, is now part of the Boeing group. <br /><br />photo and copyright <strong>Doug Bull</strong>. filckr.</p>
