Thanks to everyone who responded to my earlier posting about the CX TriStar which was flown to Australia for parting-out and scrapping. I now have several photos of the aeroplane after it arrived at Avalon and these can be viewed on my website.
"The Lockheed File"
Considering the sad fact that the aeroplane was on a one-way trip to the breaker's yard, I was surprised to learn that it arrived at Avalon in full CX livery and titles although these were removed before dismantling began. So far nobody has been able to come up with a satisfactory explanation as to why anyone would fly the aeroplane to Australia for parting out when there were no L-1011 operators in the region. Can any reader explain this?
