Photo Comment

In ex-Air Hong Kong colours with small Cathay Pacific markings. Built for Libyan Arab Airlines as 5A-DIK in 1980 but not delivered due to sanctions. Delivered to Varig as PP-VNB in 1981. Converted to a freighter for Air Hong Kong as VR-HME in 1996. Reregistered as B-HME in 1997. Merged into Cathay Pacific in 2004. Withdrawn from use at Victorville, CA in 2009. Possibly still there in 2020.
