The first Jumbo for CX. A must have for CX collectors.

Agreed, a must for CX afficiando's. Need a bit of effort to disregard those hybrid RR/GE engines though !
Anyone has any idea what has become of VR-HKG in real life ?

This makes several " 1st jumbos " released by BB recently if I am not mistaken : we got the JAL, LH and now this one. I am not sure about the Air France, KLM and South African ones also recently released. It would be nice to continue with this "1st Jumbo" series with other airlines.

Cheers

Would be nice to get a recap on every single 747 type made in Cathey Pacific Airlines. I know Tucano did that 743 in this scheme. I have forgotten that of Big Bird. I have a few of the special schemes and standard of the current one flying. I also thought they did some of the Cargo in a twin pack?

Can't wait to get these into my collection. More CX's the better. My parents flew this aircraft YVR - HKG- BOM. They enjoyed it very much.

Very perceptive ! Just searched for VR-HKG and it seems when the plane had the Union Jack on the tail, it sported the Swire 'arrow' logo on the fuselage. When the Union Jack was removed, it's the Swire 'flag' logo on the fuselage. Anyone has any pictures to refute this .............. err theory ?!
