BKWU has ended her days on the edges of Queen Alia Airport - Amman in Jordan at The Joramco Academy (Jordan Aircraft Mantenance Co Limited).
It is one of the few schools in the world to graduate European qualified aircraft maintenance engineers, whilst being based outside of Europe.
So she has faired better than her sistership and is helping train future aircraft engineers and technicians.
And my thanks to all the photographers whose photos have been used on this page
