Ep.9.06
The 747 in this episode is used in a challenge of towing power by the presenters. The aircraft, a former British Airways plane G-BDXJ, is based at Dunsfold Aerodrome where the show is filmed and is often seen in the background among other aircraft, having a position on the aerodrome's apron that overlooks the Top Gear Track. As well as being used in various productions in the UK, is was most notably used in Casino Royale where it received it's twin-engined configuration to portray the fictional Skyfleet S570. At the time of this episode's filming, G-BDXJ's plain livery had been repainted, but the twin engine nacelles were still installed from its time as the Skyfleet S570.
