I came here after listening to the audio book “ghosts of flight 401”. I didn’t realize the galley was below deck, and for a young flight attendant to be terrified to see the ghost of a dead captain while she was “in the galley” makes more sense now. She was alone on the lower level, 30,000 feet above the earth.
I just came back too, i wanted to ask you that did the two flihht attendants experience the same thing that someone was there in this level below? When both times the two attendants were alone
Amazing to see this. L1011 a frequent visitor over the years. Worked this aircraft many times loading commissary supplies in to the lower galley. Great, great days 🇨🇦🏴
Thanks for the tour! Air Canada's L-1011-1 was my first aircraft to fly on when I was 11 years old, between YYC and YYZ. The trip sparked my interest in aviation. I remember being fascinated with the lifts, and hung around the center service area watching them for as long as the FAs would tolerate me being there! I was hoping to get a view of the galley itself, but alas, that didn't happen.
Thanks for this video. It answered a lot of questions. I was on a trans-Atlantic flight in the early 80's and stopped by the forward galley for a soft-drink when an FA stepped out of a lift. From the look on my face, she explained she was "the cook" from the kitchen below. She said it was the best assignment if one is organized and can remember details. Intense because it was two meal services.
Yes, under normal circumstances personnel used the lifts. But, as shown in the video, there were two ways of escape in the event a person was trapped in the lower galley.
@@a.walters123 I since found out that no one rides in the lifts, there's a staircase that leads from the galley to the main cabin. There are also passenger toilets down there on the galley level too, before you get to the galley door. This allows them to squeeze more seating in on the passenger deck.

The L1011 was a legendary aircraft, just like the DC-9 and the 747.

I love that the weight limit is 220 lb. These days you’d be lucky to find anyone under that
Cool, love all the amenities of the L-1011! Thanks for the tour.

Incredible footage. The benefit of this to future researchers cannot be underestimated. THANK YOU for the tour. I tweeted this to my 25k ♥️
Nice to see your kind comments. I shot the original two videos but didn't know how to seam them together. I appreciate the person who combined them!
This is so fascinating! It's amazing all the secrets of this aircraft. Thanks for uploading
This explains a lot for me. Thanks for uploading.

i've heard it was very hot down there so sometimes uniform items had to come off
Remember it very well. Those lifts were tight fits.
"A lot of fun down there." Uh huh. 😉
I think the DC 10 had this option also kitchen down stairs so more passengers up stairs or kitchen up stairs and mor cargo down stairs
So under normal circumstances do personnel use the lifts? If not, how to they move between decks?
Yup, they were used for crew and carts.

My dad keeps bragging about being able to work with a wife beater and underwear in this galley 😂
what? There were two lifts inside the aircraft.😮
Yes, there were two lifts.
Clearly if you suffer from claustrophobia you could not have worked on the L-1011 or any other plane that employs that coffin size lift.
Reminds me of the movie “Passenger 57” that was set on board a L1011 with lots of lower deck scenes. Great movie for fans of the L1011 Tristar!
The lift was for carts, not people 😁.
@@guriausa But how do the people get between decks?
@@Mike-me3sp, that’s my question also!
