Default "Super Guppy" at Heathrow?

"AES" wrote in message
...
Taxiing in on a just landed United flight at LHR a few weeks
ago, I caught a quick glimpse through a window across the
cabin of what looked (to a non-expert) like a semi-derelict
small-sized "Super Guppy" parked off by a big hangar:
fat fuselage, three engines (one huge one up in the tail),
faded bile-green color, what looked like big rust streaks
running around the fuselage.

What might I have been seeing?



The mock aircraft used by the Fire Brigade for training purposes?
