Looks like they gave No.3 a ground run first! - followed by a very long push-back up the active (presumably not enough space for the jumbo to turn at the upwind end)

He probably had second thoughts about starting the takeoff roll from the upwind end of the runway. :O

Especially having heard the wind called by the tower when he was given departure instructions - straight down the strip at 30kts, which no doubt helped their planning!
