Remark

Photographer

Z-BAV (cn 48408/457) AVIENT's first MD-11F was photographed on final approach to Singapore at the end of flight SMJ381 from Hong Kong. In the glorious tropical sun, its gorgeous livery was second to none. Sadly three days later, the same aircraft crashed on take-off from Shanghai Pudong Airport enroute to Bishkek. Our deepest condolences to the loved ones of the three crew members who perished and our thoughts and prayers also for the four injured crew members, hoping that they recover completely soon.
