With the serial number of 24806 and powered by 4xRolls Royce RB211-524G/H-T engines, this Boeing 747-400 flew for the first time on August 14 1990.
It was delivered 16 days later to Qantas with the registration letters VH-OJH, and was named “City of Darwin”.
On September 23 1999, the aircraft went off the runway. 38 people were injured. The front and part of the main landing gear colapsed after overruning the runway.
It was repaired and returned to Qantas, which used it until September 3 2012, its final regular flight.
The aircraft was sent to the Marana aircraft boneyard, where the still useful parts were removed.
The aircraft was scrapped on 2013.

Combine a wet runway and the decision to not use the reverse at some point and you have this.
