The importance of this day was felt when I saw the stage set up. This was no ordinary last hurrah, but rather something meaningful to a lot of people, not only to most of the aviation enthused passengers, but to Singapore Airlines themselves! As all passengers started to enter the lounge, the Executive Vice President for Commercial at Singapore Airlines, Mr Mak Swee Wah gave a speech outlining the role of the 747 in the Singapore Airlines Fleet and its instrumental role in developing the Singapore Airlines network. Even he sounded sad with words of 'good bye'.

After the formalities of the farewell, it was off to the last B747-400 in the Singapore Airlines fleet - 9V-SPQ, delivered in 2001 and owned outright by Singapore Airlines. She was sparkling clean and shined for her last flights. It was a great sight. I was seated in 64K.

Once airborne and seatbelt sign was off, it was time to get 'snapping'. Lots of people moving from one end of the aircraft to the other to get those last snaps of this, the last Singapore airlines 747!
