Where are they now?
 

Can anyone tell me where the Ex Caledonian Tristars are in the world, last time i heard they were parked in the desert in the UAE. It would be sad news if some one tells me they no longer exist, i loved the beasts, especially G-BBAE the one that took me too Tenerife and back from Manchester in 1999.

One was in SHJ in Dec with a 3C reg.

Flew through MST about March last year
and a Caledonian Tristar was sitting looking sorry
for itself on the engineering ramp.
I think it was G-BBAE but I was going past it
at speed......

Latest news is G-BBAE is now in very bad condition in Abu Dhabi, she aint scrapped but she is just sitting feeling sorry for herself.
She was a great plane, the roar of her engines was just fab.

yep they were queens of the sky........makes others look a bit boring in comparison these days....

...ahhhh sigh............

Given that you mention Abu Dhabi, is EI-CNN the Aer Turas L1011 still parked there and what sort of a state is it in ?

Is there any photos of Tristars derelict at Abu Dhabi, when it says they are in very bad condition, does this mean its enginless, noseless and on its belly.

No derelict photos, but this is one of the ex-Caledonian birds at Sharjah.
