Concorde has a small anti tail strike wheel at the back, too.

Carl, that is not a camera. What you see mounted on the rear fuselage there is a protective device in case of a rear tail strike. If that were to happen, that little device there would prevent the tail from scraping on the runway. Longer fuselage aircraft, such the 777-300, 767-400 have them. I’m sure the A340-600 does, as well.

RE: Pic Of The Day-Emirates!
lovely picture, nice one Kabir.
Is that the rear-view camera I can see on the back end of the fuselage?
They could probably also do with one on the A340-600.;)
