Look out for this on Top Gear - 18th July.
Their doing a feature on engine power and what would happen to a car sat behind a 744 at TO power.

Anyone know who took this photo, would love his email address so I could ask him a couple of questions. Please PM me if you took the photo. You must have been at the event to have taken it from this angle

Anyone would think that Virgin have lots of spare crews at the moment :rolleyes:
wonder what it would cost to run a 747 up to PIK for the shots?
guess there will be some advertising benefit?

Must have been the motivation behind a Virgin Aircraft.
PIK isnt exactly short of 747s which could be used.

Unless it was there as part of a training detail. PIK seem sto be quite popular for that sort of thing.
