It's a fantastic machine is the Tristar. Those were the days when British Airtours, Air Ops, BCAL etc not to forget the RAF fleet were all flying. They were a popular aircraft during the 80's and 90's

Even though some TriStars and MD11's etc are still flying you never see, or at least I haven't seen, any 3 pronged vapour trails for years..... they must not come over the Dales

I suspect there must be some Micheal. I recently flew to Montreal, and although I chose Air Canada from LHR, I almost opted for KLM from AMS. The routing from there would, I imagine, occasionally bring that flight up over our region, and the flight is operated by an MD11. I would presume that there are other KLM flights to the States and Canada also using MD11 equipment

Something to do with the French Fuel shortage due to strikes across the country.
