Quote: "Strange how time and circumstances create a bond between places. My very first flight was from Blackpool airport whilst my first wide-body aircraft flight was from Luton airport, a Lockheed Tristar of Court Line to the Paris Air Show in 1973."
Was also on a Court Line L1011 in 1973, LTN-ALC-LTN for a holiday in Benidorm with Clarksons Holidays!
We had a great time and returned the following year and were in Benidorm when Court Line/Clarksons went belly up!
Rescued by Laker, first time on a DC10.
IIRC, Court Line had two Tristars, both with great colour schemes: one was pink and purple, the other yellow and orange.
