9V-SKN 2 Boeing 747-312(SCD) Singapore Airlines MAN 12SEP90
Replacing an earlier scanned photo with a better version 10-Dec-14, plus Topaz DeNoise AI 02-Nov-24.
Built as a 'Combi' with a main deck side cargo door (SCD), this aircraft could be used for carrying both passengers and cargo and the main deck.
First flown in Aug-86 with the Boeing temporary registration N6055X, 9V-SKN was delivered to Singapore Airlines the same month.
It was only in service for 11 years and was stored at Singapore in Jan-97 as Singapore Airlines took delivery of new Boeing 747-400’s.
The aircraft was sold to TAAG – Angola Airlines in Jul-97 as D2-TEA and remained in service until it was retired at Johannesburg, South Africa, in Oct-10.
It was seen still stored at Johannesburg in Aug-11 without engines and has now presumably been broken up.
Note: Singapore Airlines later reused the registration 9V-SKN on an Airbus A380.
