dark light

Help needed to I.D this aircraft.

This flew over where i live this afternoon at around 3ish.

It looks to be a Boeing 747-200 Frieghter, in partial Air China Livery – anyone know who is actually operating it? or where it was off too?

Ok G-MKHA was at Manston Airport on the 5th january ( I am guessing its not taken then ) but the plane is too high for to be from Manston so I am guessing the plane was coming from Ostend going over the pond 🙂

Very interesting c/s
The fuselage is exactly the 2 shades of blue cheatline that Eastern Airlines had on their 747’s. Dunno if any of these old beasties had been stored in the desert?
looks like a -100 going by the engines, and there is something strange beside the number 1 (number 4??) engine.
Might be worth checking out ACARS or SBS logs for your area

It does look like partial Air China livery, also reminds me of the scheme NASA use on their 747’s…
