A Tribute to Laker

My tribute to a great airline, that I had the pleasure to work for; this was my first job in the airline industry. Sir Freddie had the flair to provide the very best, at the cheapest cost, but fell only, because they could not fight with the larger carriers. Those larger carriers looked to the likes of Laker as thorns in their sides. None of the later types appear on this page, as they were not in Laker service at my time of leaving/emigrating.
