අවසන්_ගමන-The last flight - Goodbye to an Icon
[FONT="]අවුරුදු 40 කට වඩා වැඩි කාලයක් අහසේ සැරිසැරූ DC10 ගුවන්යානා වල දැනට බාවිතා කරන අන්තිම මගින් ප්රවාහන ගුවන් යානාවත් පසුගිය පෙබරවාරි මාසයේ අවසන් ගමන් ගියා.[/FONT]
[FONT="]අන්තිම ප්ලේන් එක අයිතිවෙලා තිබුනේ බංගලාදේශයේ බිමාන් බංග්ලාදේශ් ගුවන් සේවයටයි. මෙහි අන්තිම ගමන උනේ ඩකා නුවර සිට කුවේට් හරහා එංගලන්තයේ බර්මින්ගහම් නුවරටයි. ඉන්පසු මෙය නැවත ඩකා නුවරට ආපු ගමන් කොටස් ගලවා නැවත පාවිච්චි කරන්න පුළුවන් ඒවා විකුණලා ප්ලේන් එක මස් කරනවා.[/FONT]
[FONT="]මේකෙන් පස්සේ මේ ප්ලේන් මොඩල් එක ආයි ලොකෙ කිසිම අන්තර්ජාතික මගී ප්රවාහන ගුවන් සමාගමකින් දකින්න ලැබෙන්නේ නෑ.[/FONT]

[FONT="]After more than 40 years in the air, the DC10 passenger airliner bowed out in style this week, being given the water arch salute as it landed into the UK for the last time.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Flying from Dhaka, Bangladesh, via Kuwait, the plane landed its last commercial flight at Birmingham Airport at 5.55pm last Thursday, February 20.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Sadly, after plane enthusiasts were treated to scenic flights this week from Birmingham, the craft has now flown back to Bangladesh for it to be dismantled and its parts sold.[/FONT]
This is the moment the DC10 aircraft landed a passenger flight for the last time. It flew from Dhaka, Bangladesh, via Kuwait, to Birmingham, landing on February 20
This is the view of the cockpit on the last passenger flight of the DC10 aircraft, which was flown by Biman Bangladesh Airlines
After landing in England, thousands of people got the opportunity to go on scenic flights north towards Scotland before looping back to Birmingham
On the days between, more than a thousand passengers were treated to one-hour scenic flights on the craft, travelling towards Scotland before looping back towards England's second city.
Biman Bangladesh Airlines was the last airline to use the craft. It said it would now be retired and replaced with newer models.
The model, which first took to the air in 1971, will still be used in the military - for the U.S. Air Force for refuelling purposes, for instance - and freight services.
FIRST TAKING TO THE AIR IN 1971, HOW THE DC10 HAS BEEN OPERATING COMMERCIAL FLIGHTS FOR 40 YEARS
Prided on its comfort, reliability and efficiency, the DC10 was designed and built by the Douglas Aircraft Company in Long Beach, California.
With six models designed – the first running from 1971 – the crafts accommodate for between 250 and 380 passengers.
The first time a DC10 is believed to have visited Birmingham - the destination of its final commercial passenger flight - was on November 30 1972, when Laker Airways operated a demonstration flight.
At the time, the first class area of the cabin had six seats across, while in standard class there were eight seats across.
The 446th and final DC10 was delivered to Nigeria Airways in 1989.
A number of airlines used the DC10 model in its history, including British Caledonian, Northwest Airlines, Japan Airlines and Iberia.
Biman Bangladesh Airlines was the last, but the planes will continue to be used for military purposes – by the U.S. Air Force for in-flight refuelling purposes, for instance – and for freight services.
එහෙනම් ඉතින් අපිත් ඔන්න ගියා
ජය වේවා හැමෝටම!!!
