The only reason I'm posting this - besides the fact that I want to keep you all up to date with my personal life - Is the following:

I found it interesting that the prototype jet that Bond saves in the first 1/3 or so of the film resembled the "747" that 5th Gear pulled with the Volkswagen Touareg. It seemed to be a computer modified 747 with that strange 2x2 jet engine pattern + auxiliary fuel tanks..


dunno if that's important or not, but perhaps the jet from 5th gear was a model for the jet in the film.
Yeah, I posted about that back in the 5th Gear thread about the 747 in that configuration, I have never seen it before.

Maybe it is just a mock-up and not a real flyer?
