120 Squadron special markings on XV240 during a visit to Canada. Retired in 2009, the aircraft became a gate guard at RAF Kinloss where it was based. Unfortunately after the cancellation of the follow on Nimrod MRA4 and the decision to close the base, it was scrapped in November 2011. The nose section was saved however, and has been mounted on a trailer as a travelling exhibit.

CP Air's first 747 diverted due to fog. In the days of major pulp mills on the Southern BC coast aiding fog formation and before CAT III approaches, closure of Vancouver International airport due to weather was more common. CP Air would organize a near by "Abbotsford operation" to run many of their flights. The "Empress of Japan" would later go to Pakistan International Airlines in a deal that saw CP's 747-217s traded for PIA's DC-10-30s.
