747 on Topgear
Viewing Topgear tonight on BBC3 in the back ground there's a 747(?) with two engines on the inboard position and what looks like a slip tank in the outboard position. Does any one know what it is and what is going on??

It's at Dunsfold. Modded to portray 2 engines podded together on both wings and parked next to the Aces High film prop aircraft near the control tower. It was modded well before the 'last' Bond film; been in this state for at least 3 years, and has been used for numerous other films; there was one filming in February this year when I was working as radio operator in the tower, but I think they only did 'interior' shots.
