Taxiing up to the threshold of 33R is KLM's 'Sir Frank Whittle', later re-registered PH-BUU. Leased by Phuket Airlines as HS-VAC in 2004 after storage, sub-leased twice by Saudi Arabian and parked at Bangkok's old airport from 2.09; an engine detached during take-off from Cairo in July 2010 and the aircraft returned, remaining stored there.
