Preparations for the next 'Go Compare' advert featuring wing walkers will be expanded to seat the London Philharmonic Orchestra all on the same aircraft.

It'll take a while to find the problem sir. I think the riggers have used some of the fuel lines to hold the wings together.

We're going for Ground in Wing Effect. The plane stays still, and the planet moves beneath it.

Can someone please explain whether the struts are there to hold the wings together, or to hold them apart?
