name that wheel well
hint: Lookit the wheel rim.
I'm going to go for a BAC 111, or perhaps something French?. It looks too crowded for the 737 or 727, at least from my limited memory, and I can't see a walking beam actuator anywhere. The rubber around the lip of the wheel well looks 737- ish, but I still don't think it was that crowded.
The Captain is holding his ears to protect against APU noise, but that still doesn't make it a 727 or 737 in my opinion. I also don't think the Russians would have made such a dog's breakfast of the wheel well.

Isn't that Captain Joe Patroni (played by George Kennedy) inspecting the wheel well of Concorde in Airport 79?
He's making sure that the sidewinder missile detection system is serviceable. Devotees of the Airport series will recall that Joe managed to avoid being shot down by a sidewinder, by opening the DV window (which, being a European aircraft in the case of the Concorde, was on the right hand side) and firing a flare to fool the missile.
Absent a serviceable sidewinder detection system (and a rear view mirror and a very strong arm) Captain Joe wouldn't have been able to save the Concorde.
As I recall, the sidewinder detection system was fitted in the left hand MLG well in –200 models of the Concorde. An amazing piece of technology, given that the sidewinder was a passive missile.

I know the 146 is old and British but if it had that many wires and piping, they would've already been scrapped to sims metal to get there moneys worth. Looks more like an AN-12.
