A long way from being one of my better photos as it was taken in pouring rain during the spring of 1984 from the terrace on the Queens Building at Heathrow. The negative hasn't worn too well over the years either. However, it's a DC-10 Series 30 of VARIG (Viação Aérea RIo-Grandense) the former national airline of Brazil and the only time I ever saw one!
This 747 was originally tagged for Libyan Arab Airlines, but due to the embargo was n.t.u. and found his way to Varig, where it flew until the mid 90's. Last operator was Cathay Pacific Cargo as B-HME. Photo by Bedřich Zenáhlík.
