Downwind Left for 07 RJOH
However there appears to be no flaps extended, or leading edge devices, or Gear down.
The shadow is very close to the aircraft.
The rudder colour is either deep blue or black, (not very common), or is in deep shadow,
But the sun is very high, and from the south in this picture.
If it had ditched, and that was in fact a slide there might have been a dark patch above it.
The winglets are just visible too. B747-400 series. ?
There is no evidence of water disturbance in the local area.
So do suggest it is downwind left hand,high speed for Mino joint use airbase.
