Rumor around is that this Aircraft will be retire before long due to massive corrosion and replaced by a 747BCF next year!

Just read on acarsd registration news that Dubai Air Wing have now acquired a B747-412F(SCD) from Great Wall registered A6-GGP.

This confirms Brian's post in Aug last year.

This left Singapore for Dubai on the 6th which is the same date Grahame posted that A6-GDP arrived in Singapore.

c/n is 28032 ex B-2429

Will probably be painted in SIN - all white again??

The a/c will be in the shops for a while, while it under go's re fitting with all that special horsie stuff they put in side the thing. It's like a flying Vet Clinic!

74Y A6-GGP looks quite good actually, as she wears basic Great Wall colours, but in true Amiri flight style, looks as if she rolled out of the Boeing factory yesterday!
