That is very true garry 😀 Looks nice wonder if I get to see it at Manston, How much runway do they need?

If cargolux continues at Manston then u surely will as they are replacing all their aircraft with -800’s, but the cargo apron needs work for them to fit on there and old machinery needs replacing, hopefully infratil will plan ahead for this

Exactly what I was thinking totty. From that angle, it just looks like a 747F. Will maybe look more impressive when we get to see the raked winglets and chevron nacelles.

From this angle, it looks exactly like a 747-400, except for the hump.

Yes, I was expecting to see a twin turbo-prop being resurrected for cargo use!
