Hi
I was on a flight out of Gatwick the other day and on take off i noticed an aircraft with the 'hump' of a 747 an engine in the tail like a DC10 and wings like an A320! to the right side of the runway. Anyone any ideas to what this is? many thanks

Well that site explains it all right....Very Interesting and you can see the unit for creating smoke inside the aircraft.

Thanks Smiley

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
