A question based on pure curiosity !

I've seen an all white, totally unmarked 747 (400 ?) at Newcastle Intl over the last few weeks. Too far away to get the registration, but definately no markings on the vertical stab. or side. Judging from the takeoff roll - she was also very lightly loaded.

Does anyone know what she's doing there ? Awaiting re-paint ? cargo carrier not concerned with promoting their business ? Private ?

Any info appreciated !

cheers

the last white 747 in at newcastle was a charter for a pilgramage to loudes in france i think.

Thanks for all the replies ! Must be nice to have a private 747 ! Somewhat larger than my DA-40 !
