Rare 1981 cabin photo (looking rearward) in Cathay Pacific TriStar VR-HHV Cn 193K-1024, before departure from Hong Kong (Kai Tak) to Bangkok on 21Oct1981. My first flight with Cathay Pacific, and first flight in a TriStar was in VR-HHY on 06Oct1981 (Manila to Hong Kong). The next flight (VHHH-RCTP / HKG-TPE) was in Cathay TriStar N316EA, which had Cathay livery, with Eastern Airlines Registration! Apologies for low depth of field.
