That about sums it up. For those who don't already know it's a modified Boeing 747 used in the new Bond film Casino Royale. I took the shot at the Dunsfold Wings & Wheels event in August. http://mi6.co.uk/news/index.php?itemid=3869&catid=2

2 of those engines are dummies( If you still think of them as 4 engines) Cause I know for sure that they sold two of the engines! Aces High is going to make a lot of money off that 747! I think this was a rather low mileage 747 and they're selling in in parts!

All the engines are fake. The real ones disappeared soon after it arrived. It is now a permanent film stage...

I think you will have to see the film to find out.

Well, whatever it is, I never want to see it again... Angry

Joke... looks odd, but I think better than a normal 747...

Would you agree?...

EDIT; I think the most off-putting thing about the plane we see in the film is actually the name. Because the book on which the film is based was written in the early 1950's, it sounds quite dated now...
