Thanks for posting this photo, Sotonsean, as I flew on a Air Transat L1011 from Stansted to Toronto in 1989 which was also my first flight in an airliner - although sadly I didn’t make a note of the aircraft serial number. The flight was made even more exciting from my perspective as because of a strong headwind we had to land at Goose Bay in Labrador for extra fuel which in turn meant I got to see resident Avro Vulcan B.2 XL361 - albeit from the aircraft side door as we weren’t allowed off.
