I have two official CX post cards of the L1011 of circa 1975, 1 in flight and 1 with the economy section interior. They were my personal collection on an inaugural flight from HKG to MNL. CX took delivery of 2 L1011 around 1975 I also recall a "bribery" scandal involving one high ranking CX management allegedly receiving a Jensen Intercepter sport car from Lockheed for siding with the L1011 selection.
Economy cabin config. was 9 abreast: 3 x 2 x 2 x 2. Yes, there is a partition separating the middle 4 seater row to make them 2 2-seaters. Also, no overhead bin in the middle. Seat pitch was probably 35". Very comfortable aeroplane.
Good old days. CX later squeezed an extra seat to make it 10 abreast!
Am I able to post these two post cards in a PDF on this Forum?
