B-HUE 2 B747-467 Cathay Pacific Aws MAN 04JAN15

Replacing an earlier digital photo with a better version 03-Jan-22 (DeNoise AI).

 

Arriving after a non-stop ferry flight from Hong Kong. This was the 22 year old aircraft's penultimate landing. The following day it ferried to Bruntingthorpe, UK, on it's final flight to a date with the scrap-mans axe.

 

First flown with the Boeing test registration N60697, this aircraft was delivered to Cathay Pacific Airways as VR-HUE in May-93. It became B-HUE in Aug-97 when Hong Kong became an autonomous region of China.

 

In Jan-15, after 22 years in service, the aircraft ferried from Hong Kong via Manchester to Bruntingthorpe, UK where it was permanently retired. Updated 03-Jan-22
