L1011 at Lyon

Hi folks

There's an L1011 at the Cargoport at Lyon St Exupery.

It's been there for a while (blue tailfin and red line on the fuselage), but it doesn't seem to have any reg markings that I can see.

Does anyone know what it's for?

Maybe the DHL crew that was there yesterday saw it ??

Thanks

Wayne

Its a wreck. Front is all smashed in by Hailstones. Fan blades are dinged. Its never flying again. Probably waiting for the insurance to decide to scrap it.

Ahhhh

Couldn't see the front.

Thanks for the info. If you're ever passing this way, drop me a line and I'll buy you a beer.

The way the color scheme was described, it sounded like an ex-Air Transat TriStar.
