British Caledonian B-CAL DC-10-30 Reg. G-BEBM Vintage Print McDonnell Douglas

Description: In 1976, British Caledonian chose the DC-10 above the other airplanes, placing a order for 10 DC-10 Series 30 airplanes — with General Electric CF6–50C engines and intercontinental range capability of 10,000 km — and three DC-10 Series 10 airplanes — with lower thrust General Electric CF6–6 engines, which were used to intra-Europe flights and charters because of the lack of range — those destinated for BCA Charter / CalAir’s fleet. In fact, those were the only European companies to operate the Series 10 of the DC-10. The delivery of those airplanes started in 1977, with the introduction in revenue service occurring in 20th March 1977. They operated not only inside BCal’s network, but also operated charter services from Europe to the Caribbean countries. Those DC-10 airplanes were sometimes in competition with the British Airways widebodies in their operational services (notabily their Lockheed L-1011 TriStars) much because they offered a higher flexibility than the BA’s TriStars or even their Boeing 747s! BCal had always a Scottish touch, thus their flight attendants weared Scottish kilts & their DC-10 airplanes were named after proeminent Scottish personalities (or personalities with Scottish ancestry, like James Smith McDonnell, the Scottish American aviation pioneer). They flied in British Caledonian until the year of 1988, when British Airways absorbed British Caledonian and their operations in London’s Gatwick Airport. Their DC-10 fleet was one of the biggest in Europe, including their DC-10–10s for BCA Charter. Eight of the DC-10–30s were purchased directly from McDonnell Douglas, plus two were originated from other airlines. The DC-10–10s were purchased also directly from McDonnell Douglas. Art photo most likely used as a promotional, advertising or shareholder item. Portrait lay-out, measures 8 x 10, and in good condition with strong colors and details. Provenance McDonnell Douglas.
