The only info the web site gave was it was a 747-200 but look at the wings and engines  Shocked. What variant is it (if any)? I don't know

The engines are fake....it was used as the new plane (I forget it's name) in the latest Bond movie Casino Royale...

It is used as a film set and is parked at Dunsfold...many of our members have got piccies of it from the airshow there I believe...

and no...it doesn't fly Wink

Skyfleet s5700 something.... The plane is now a resident @ Dunsfold and belongs to Aces high film company.. you can also see it in many Top gear episodes in the background Cheesy

Now the real fun thing though.. The plane was modified for a movie which was massivly sponsored by Ford.... and here you see it pulled by one of Fords Competitors... Volkswagen Cheesy

Nah. Too ugly to be a B-52.

It's a regular old 747 that's been modified for a Movie I believe. One of the newer James Bond ones
