theplasticsurgeon Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) Looks like a Boeing 747 in the process of being scrapped. Wings clipped, outer engines removed and tail planes reduced. Don't think it's anything new. Edited March 22, 2014 by theplasticsurgeon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocketSurgeon Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 "RAAF Pearce is also used by the Australian Air Force Cadets as a headquarters and on promotional courses, as well as serving as HQ for 7 Wing and the squadron premises for 701 Squadron (AAFC). An airliner mock-up has been built on base to serve as an anti-hijacking training aid for the Australian Special Air Service's counter-terrorism squadron, also known as Tactical Assault Group (West). It is used to practise airliner entry and hostage rescue drills." Looks like a 747sp though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halcyonjet Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 We've got a very similar mock-up near to Hereford that is used for anti-terrorist training by a well known British Army Regiment. I much preferred the old Trident that they had until a few years ago! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
