Delivered new 13th Sep 1984 and on the 12th Feb 2000 while taxiing to the runway at GOOY (Dakar) for a departure to Paris, the left main gear unsafe alarm sounded. The crew elected to return to the parking area. While taxiing back, the left main gear retracted, causing the no. 1 engine to strike the ground. A fire broke out in the vicinity of this engine and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. This photo is copyright © LRS747, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
