Its a 747-200 series - it was `adapted` for the recent James Bond film Casino Royale ie outer engines moved to pod with inboard engines and drop tanks on the outer pylons. I believe it is now owned by a company who rent it out as a film prop. Often seen in background when those Top Gear boys are thrashing around the Top Gear track

I thought the name used in the film was quite clever. For "Skyfleet 570" read Airbus A380, Sky-Air, Fleet-Bus, 380 + (380/2)=570

As with the A380, hiring somebody to destroy the prototype would be a good excuse for Airbus' late deliveries...?
