Google Earth, what is this?

[Mark Jones' Laptop2]

A secret plane or a fire rig? Maintenance area east of both main runways at
LHR. Obviously a few years back as two Concordes are at T4.

FYI it's a kind of 'composite' of 747 style front and DC-10 tail ( with the

Cheers for that,

I was showing off Google Earth to a few ex-RAF/retired BA LHR Engineers the
other day looking for Concordes to see how uptodate the images are when we
stumbled across the big green thing.

It was only a Special Effects/Movies friend that said that it was a fire
rig - since then the conspiracy theories that BA/BAA are servicing secret
three engine (with only one large port aerleron/flap) spy/flighter/bombers
has gone crazy in Weybridge!
