747 to Dunsfold

Air Atlanta are planning to deliver G-BDXJ 747-200 to Dunsfold sometime early next week subject to weather. It was due to go last Thursday but was cancelled due to poor weather.
Runway is only just over 6000 feet in length and aircraft will ideally need a dry runway to make the most of its braking and thrust reversing capabilities.
Sadly it is to be scrapped and turned into tin cans or whatever the metal is used for.
If anyone who lives locally can get photos of it landing and paste them I am sure it would be appreciated.
Does anyone know if this will be the largest a/c to have used Dunsfold? or have 747s been in before?
