Panning with a slightly slower shutter speed (1/30sec). The domestic terminals of Sydney Airport are in the background. This is runway 16L with the intersection of "Foxtrot". OJU rolled off the Boeing production line 03/01/2000 and powered by Rolls Royce RB211-524G2 engines.

It was withdrawn from the Australian aircraft registry on October 21 2019 and is now N747RR and owned by Rolls Royce, set to be configured as a special test aircraft, though the plans appear to have been shelved. It was suggested it might be scrapped by I don't know for sure. It is said it was scrapped 10/2023.

There was even a special handover ceremony with the "keys" to the plane given to Rolls Royce and special memento created to mark the occasion.

RR still has a 747-200 flying test bed aircraft which I find amazing they will keep going, surely that thing must be getting far too old to keep going. The 400 is a much more modern machine.

... some 'white on green' from a walk this morning ..

Cropped panoramic image of the Vevey "fork" on the Geneva Lake (Leman for anyone outside Geneva) right in front of the Alimentarium, a museum of the history of food and food production founded by ... Nestle. Well organized but a bit basic but good for elementary school children. We were considring it for a future visit by our university students but as I said a bit boring. The Charlie Chaplin museum a bit further up is very highly recommended.
