1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

That about sums it up. For those who don't already know it's a modified Boeing 747 used in the new Bond film Casino Royale. I took the shot at the Dunsfold Wings & Wheels event in August. http://mi6.co.uk/news/index.php?itemid=3869&catid=2

2 of those engines are dummies( If you still think of them as 4 engines) Cause I know for sure that they sold two of the engines! Aces High is going to make a lot of money off that 747! I think this was a rather low mileage 747 and they're selling in in parts!

All the engines are fake. The real ones disappeared soon after it arrived. It is now a permanent film stage...
