Trouble at the Top: Freddie's Back

on BBC Two England

Sir Freddie Laker's Skytrain airline, which introduced the concept of cheap flights for non-business passengers, went bust in 1982. Now in his 70s, his undimmed desire for success resulted in Laker Airline, a transatlantic airline between Britain and Florida. To catch the start of the lucrative holiday season, Laker only has 12 weeks to get his fleet of DC10s operational and ready for business.
