This is at Dunsfold in Surrey. UK and was recently used in the james Bond
film i believe, not airworthy.

While this story is actually a PR story by VW about a VQ Tuareg towing a
747, look at the photos - pay attention to the engines
http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/22/t...di-tows-a-747/
The plane used for the stunt was a decommissioned Boeing 747-200 that
weighs 155 tons. VW had initially calculated the Touareg could
successfully pull 200 tons, and had even done a dry run with a 190-ton
Boeing 747-400. Unfortunately, the only plane that could be acquired for
the PR stunt was this one that is usually used as a giant prop in films.
Don't quite think this engine configuration is standard, and presumably it
isn't airworthy..
