- Hong Kong-Chek Lap Kok Int'l Airport - VHHH, China (Hong Kong)
Taxying out for the final time out of Hong Kong. B-HVY leaves the Cathay fleet after 26 years of loyal service, including flying on behalf of the RAF during the first Gulf War. Approaching 115,000 flying hours and a major maintenance check it is unfortunately cheaper to sell the aircraft rather than perform the check. Believed to be the highest houred 747 in the world (correct me if I am wrong), B-HVY had it's titles painted out just for this flight as it departs as CX3339 to Cadriff via Dubai. Final destination is Kemble, UK for the scrapman.
