The next cross-channel trip for Pilot Officer Prune was going to be a doddle; his aircraft would use the Chunnel!

...and then Scotty, the flight engineer, suddenly got the Warp drive going on the light aircraft and it pulled free of the 747! But, in it's haste to depart, it ripped the leading edge of the RB211's engine cowling & took it with it. The End.

Airbus weren't going to be outdone by Boeing's Winglets, although the prototype for the 'Sharklet' did seem a little extreme.....

The manual states you get the ground crew to run round the hamster wheel and that taxies the aircraft back to the hangar and charges the battery.
