Natalie!!!

This is the "infamous" "Natalie", I wrote about her in a previous thread. My first dealings with this aircraft were in Kampala where it was parked for a few months on one of the few refuelling bays. Caused me a lot of grief trying to get my numerous frames turned round. Technicians were working on it and it attempted to do a couple of flights, flowers/fish to Europe, I think, but not very successfully as it didn't have a cargo door although the interior had been stripped out, consequently loading took forever! The authorities tried to get the "owners/operators" to remote park it down near the old terminal building (from "raid on Entebbe" fame) but to no avail. Anyway it was eventually kicked out and reappeared on the cargo ramp at DXB and then on to Ras Al Kheimah where it must have had a collision of some sort as there was damage to one of the belly hold doors. Now she reappears, what next?
