Hi gents,
anybody an idea what happened to Liberia World/Ducor Worlds TriStar in their new outfit, I believe Liberia International it`s called these days.

Are they flying at all and if yes, where the A/C based at the moment ?

Cheers

Yep she's still in the old Caledonian colours, this machine was in and out of SHJ and was seen in DXB around 6 months ago, but i think it's now been re-registered A8-AAA and it ops for Liberian Cargo Airlines or something, some pics have shown it's a regular visitor to Ostend and Prague recently.

It's an old L-1011-100 (ex. G-BBAH with BA) built in 74' so it's still doing well for its age. I think it's the only surviving ex.BA/Cal L-1011 left as the last two were scrapped at AUH last year. I think there's a couple of ex.BA L-1011-200's knocking around still somewhere.

Cheers.

Plane seems to be operating for International Air Services now, theis homebase is Vatry in France, company headquarters is in the UK though. Seems to be a sister company of Avient Aviation.

I guess all seats are removed from these aircraft, and its fully cargo, however as G-BBAE and G-BBAJ were stored for a fair few years, were they stripped of their interiors etc
