Quite possibly the last flight B-HMF ever does, as CX3330 departs non-stop for Victorville. With titles removed, the Civil Aviation Department of Hong Kong requires that the operator is visible, so oddly Cathay Pacific stickers are carried which will be removed at destination. This aircraft now joins from the Swire Group three Dragonair 743Fs recently retired, and also a Dragonair 744BCF in storage with two Cathay 744BCFs joining them shortly. Apparently this aircraft has been sold to Southern Air, sadly though for spares.

Good shot, Colin. But very sad to see the classic 747s go, I've photographed its sisterships B-HMD and B-HIH at Munich myself, hopefully they don't end like B-HMF....
Thats quite a sad sight indeed.. I hope she better finds a new home soon.. and even sad to read 744 BCF's joining this one in Victorville.
Goodbye old friend, you'll be missed at Manchester UK.
