Top Gear Planes?

Hi,

Just watching ‘Top Gear’ and wondered what the history was of the planes in the background on the airfield. So who better to ask than you guys.

Discuss.

I generally have to watch it keeping one eye on the car and one on the background to see if there’s any new goodies parked in!

Oh yes, I forgot it was in Primevil too! Wasnt that the one with the T-rex?

I saw the Dakota on it this evening but I only caught a glimpse of it, maybe a second or so but I thought it might of been the BBMF Dakota – probably transiting through.

Yes, i’ve seen it in that and ‘Primeval’. I think there’s a Dakota there too.

I think the B747 in the background was once a BA plane, before going to European and then it was retired and used in Casino Royale.
