Mystery plane at ?

How can it be a 747SP…its only a twin engine, 747SP’s have got 4 engines don’t they?

In terms of what it is used for…could it be used to transport the space shuttle on the top of it by any chance?

Engines have been known to have been removed from wings before and wings cut down 😉

You let me down Steve! This is a Special Forces terrorism trainer unit at RAAF Pearce, Bullsbrook, Perth, Western Australia.:)

I now understand that this is a mock up aircraft and RAAF Pearce is an alternate NASA landing site.

Look how short the wings are and how out of proportion the horizontal stabilizer is…it’s just a mock up

Is it a B747SP?

I say its an old 747SP

Is it something to do with the Aircraft fire protection/mishap investigation course in Dayton Ohio???

Counter terrorism?

Cardiff?

You have the purpose correct and possibly the type, I’m not sure, but the location?

Is it a B747SP?

I say its an old 747SP done up for police training:D

Is it a B747SP?

A security force training aid?
Note the wing walks on the right wing.

Close, but no banana, can’t see any burning effects!:)

Don’t know where it is but I would say it is a crash firefighting simulator for training airport fire teams, like the one at LHR. The building at the bottom of the picture would be the control room which houses the briefing room and controls to operate the flow of gas / avtur to the unit.
