When I visited Heathrow, there was one plane I couldnt work out. It is near one of the hangars, between the runways (excluding 23) and it is big. Its big, green and looks like an MD11/DC10/L1011 Tristar but its front is desinged like a B747! WHAT IS IT????? Its quite run down, wont fly anymore!

It's the mock up of an aircraft that the LHR fire service use for fire training!!

Well i remember Delhi Internation Airport used to have one, but it itself went up in flames a few years ago....talk about training firemen...would have been a surprise for them seeing there classroom going up in flames....

The Delhi one was only supposed to have a little fire inside the seating area....it was not one of those which are burnt whole.
