Ground Vehicle damaged

Plenty of posts here about aircraft being punctured and damaged by careless handlers but what's going on in Prestwick?

Anyone know who took this photo, would love his email address so I could ask him a couple of questions. Please PM me if you took the photo. You must have been at the event to have taken it from this angle

G-VAST Want to know what happens when you shove a Citreon behind a full throttle 747.....then look to the left and can you see the Citreon getting flung through the air!!! - This was part of a stunt by Top gear and was being filmed at all angles, look out for this on telly soon.

wonder what it would cost to run a 747 up to PIK for the shots?

guess there will be some advertising benefit?

Must have been the motivation behind a Virgin Aircraft.

PIK isnt exactly short of 747s which could be used.

Unless it was there as part of a training detail. PIK seem sto be quite popular for that sort of thing.
