It was an African registered cargo bird. DGCA (local regulator) did a tech inspection on the aircraft during one of its Dubai tuurnarounds and found a cracked main spar. Owner/operator begged to be allowed to take it back to home base "for repairs". DGCA refused - (and if they hadn't, my guess is that it would still be flying arouund Africa today... unrepaired).
One of the EK engineers attempted to buy it for spares a year or two after it was grounded but the deal fell through because - THEN - the parking fees were more than the aircraft was worth. God only knows what they'd be by now.
Last couple of times I passed it, its doors were open, so I'd be guessing the state of its interior would be very poor by now. I'm surprised DUBAL hasn't dragged it off to add its carcase to their smelters years ago. The way things are going at DXB, it appears to at risk of being "built in".
