What is this 747 engine mod?


I was watching Top Gear the other day and couldn't help notice the twin inboard engines on this 747 at Dunsfold. Can anyone explain it?

That not the one that was used as the "new airliner" in Casino Royale?

As suggested above, it's a film hack - I don't believe it's a genuine, flying modification.

It's a movie prop. (Casino Royale) Not functional though.
Top Gear is great!
