It's great to see this finally go vertical,I've never been to a coasters opening day,this may well be my first one.
There always used to the three or four (occasionally up to about 10) 'large' planes that used to sit behind the Airbus factory at Filton in Bristol. They rarely had their jet-turbines attached, but they where complete planes that gradually got scrapped. They definitely weren't serviceable for flying any more. Some had holes in, others rusted up. I remember there was one once with no landing gear, it was just sat there. Go knows how they got it there!iblamefish said:Mr Nash said:Do we have any old aeroplane scrapyards over here?

Not sure that we do. That one in America is filled with mostly military planes I think - and we recycle most of ours.

I'd have thought if they could find a scrap plane they'd gut it and chop it up before bringing it on site. Whether te costs of that and transportation outweigh making a fake one... No idea. Thinking about it, they don't need all that much of a plane, so it probably will just make it. It's still a vast piece of theming though and it'll be exciting to see it arrive on site.Hixee said:There always used to the three or four (occasionally up to about 10) 'large' planes that used to sit behind the Airbus factory at Filton in Bristol.

I think if you where just making an outer shell of a plane (which is all they need), then part of me thinks it would be cheaper to fake it actually. You can bring in the sheet metal etc far more easily than you can half of a fuselage.
