CX in the late '70s - L1011

I am wondering whether anyone knows where I can find a cabin photo from CX in the late '70s, preferably an L1011. I have looked on airliners.net with no luck.

My grandparents took a post-retirement world tour in 1977/1978 and in a letter to my aunt she references flying on a Cathay Tristar from Singapore to Hong Kong in March 1977. She said the plane had "about 350 seats, cologne towels, every service, roast turkey lunch, preceded by appetisers, etc." Knowing my grandparents I would be astounded if they flew anything but economy. I also have the menu from another CX flight of theirs that is similarly wondrous. I was re-reading the letters today and wondering if anyone can help me complete the picture.

[As an OT aside, they went to what now seem to me to be unimaginable places - north-western Pakistan and Tora Bora, Kabul, Kandehar, Tehran, Isfahan and other places. The descriptions of the pre-revolutinary buildings make them sound heart-breakingly beautiful.]
