Narrative:

Our L1011-1 came from the maintenance hangar without the MEL manual on board. I didn't miss the manual until after takeoff from atlanta. We borrowed lga's MEL to take the flight to fll from lga. We called maintenance coordinator from lga to inform them. Dispatcher was informed to coordinate getting original MEL for our L1011-1 to meet the aircraft in fll.
