Test aircraft cockpit for filming?

[geoffwhite]

Sorry for the intrusion from a member of the press - but I'm trying to track something down and need a bit of help!

I'm researching a story on the increase in use of laser pointers aimed at civilian aircraft.

I want to illustrate the effect the lasers have when they hit an aircraft cockpit window.

Obviously we don't want to do this in-flight. Instead I'm trying to find a de-activated plane (maybe one used for emergency drills) where we can stick a camera in the cockpit and shine the laser into it from outside.

Can anyone help? Am in touch with BALPA and the CAA but any pointers would be much appreciated....

Ta,

Geoff.

Brooklands Museum (http://www.brooklandsmuseum.com/index.php)?

As you can see they have a wide range of Airliners.
