Change of mind. Slightly better quality, but only just, and a bit more exotic. Air Siam DC10 "Thailand's First DC10", Kai Tak 1976/7.

A sadly missed name in these days of the 2 pony race between Boeing and Airbus. I shall put in the 1947 vintage DC-4 ZS-BMH operated by the Historic Division of South African Airways at IAT in 1998.
