B-2429 Boeing 747-412F (SCD) Great Wall Airlines MAN 06SEP07

Replacing an earlier digital photo with a better version 06-Sep-22.

 

A purpose built freighter, this aircraft was delivered to Singapore Airlines as 9V-SFH in Aug-99. It was transferred to Singapore Airlines Cargo in Jul-01 when Singapore Airlines set up a dedicated cargo division.

 

The aircraft was leased to Great Wall Airlines (China) as B-2429 in May-06. It returned to Singapore Cargo as 9V-SFE in Sep-06 due to a USA embargo on the company's owners. It was leased to Great Wall Airlines again, as B-2429 in Feb-07.

 

It was returned to Singapore Airlines Cargo in late 2009 and was stored at Singapore before being sold to the Dubai Air Wing (the Dubai Royal Flight) as A6-GGP in Jan-10. It's still in basic Great Wall livery and is mainly used for the transportation of race horses. It doesn't show up on FR24 but as far as I'm aware it's still in service. Updated 06-Sep-22.
