Pictured rolling out on rw36 after arriving from Taipei (TPE). Just over two months later on the 20th August, whilst operating the very same flight, the no.1 engine caught fire just as the aircrfat arrived on stand. All passengers and crew could be safely evacuated using the emergency slides before a large explosion occured and fire consumed the plane on the tarmac. It was originally delivered to China Airlines in July 2002. This photo is copyright © Alastair T. Gardiner, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
