B747 basking in the Winter sun

This Boeing 747-400 BDSF has been put out to bask in the Winter sun earlier today, after it was freshly painted by Aviation Cosmetics Malta. The aircraft was originally delivered to Singapore Airlines more than 26 years ago. The aircraft is operated by Air Atlanta Icelandic as TF-AMI and leased to UK cargo specialist Magma Aviation.  This is the third aircraft to join the Magma Aviation fleet.

Interestingly, the aircraft also carries a Chapman Freeborn sticker. Chapman Freeborn started in 1973 as a charter broker and has been in business for more than 40 years. The company has been involved in a number of humanitarian air cargo charters. Today Chapman Freeborn has a number of subsidiaries that include Intradco and Wings24.
