The McDonnell Douglas Corporation began on 28th April 1967.
The British Airways DC-10 Series 30s, inherited from BCAL of course, were CAT111A certified with auto go-around.
The training captain who did my base training on the DC-10 had considerable experience on the TriStar too, from its early days with BEA. He had the greatest respect for both types. One thing he did say on the handling was with regard to tail-scrapes. Quite easily done on the TriStar, apparently, much more difficult on the DC-10.
