Those RR Tyne engines are extremely strong and have a wonderful sound Have fond memories of them when Heavylift was operating for KLM to the UK a decade ago...

If you look at the circled area in the original photo, you will see an interesting "747" combi - two cockpits, one below the other! The upper one is 747, the lower one, where first class is usually, is a DC-10 cockpit. Maybe keep an eye out for it next time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought it's a mock-up aircraft for emergency drills. So it's a real airframe which has been converted for emergency drills? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
