James Bond "Casino Royale" 747

I found some cool photos of a retired 747-200 used in the new Bond film
Casino Royale. Interesting how they podded the engines and added wing
tanks and exhaust chevrons. Those Hollywood guys never cease to amaze..

Does this thing fly? If so, how do they do it legally. Do they relinquish
the standard certificate of airworthiness and operate it experimentally? Do
they have to get a FSDO (or the British equivalent) to approve the mods? If
it is just a prop, why don't they just use CA?

It doesn't fly. It is strictly a "prop" (in a non-aviation sense.)

I think the article said the plane was a retired British Airways
747-200.
