With all the new and existing tanker articles avaliable (A333 MRTT, KC-45, A310 MRTT, CC-150, KC-767, KC-10/KDC-10), I felt it was time to create this one, rather than have redircts to the L-1011 page. Being late at night, it took me over 3 hours to do what I thought would take 30 minutes!
Thanks to everyone who helped improve the article while I slept after spending half the night creating it! A special thanks to Nimbus (who has actually flown to the Falklands on the pic he added from the Geman Wiki) and Adrian (pics forthcoming) for hepling to find/add new pics, at my request.
As to the title, Lockheed TriStar redirects to Lockheed L-1011, which I beleive is as it should be. That left Lockheed TriStar (RAF) as the only reasonalbly short title available. I'm certainly open to alternate titles. - BillCJ ( talk) 04:51, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
No mention of the C.1s ! i know for a fact that they were operating mid 1984, as I was on one of the first, if not the first Tristar trooping flight to Wideawake, in July or August 1984, via Dakar (we all got off and lounged on the pan while it was refuelled, in our Falkland de-riguer temperate DPMs, sweating our B**ocks off). Does anyone have a reference to update the article? -- Petebutt ( talk) 15:02, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
The aircraft were stored there and have been scrapped, not sure how to word it in the article. but the main article for the Aerodrome mentions that they were scrapped, along with a VC-10.
