    The modified 747 in the background that has been seen in many a Top Gear sequence or lap over the years was actually the basis for the fictional Skyfleet aircraft in Casino Royale. The double engines and wing pods layout is totally fictional being made up from parts of an old VC-10 as I recall.

Such a cool jet, weird facing backwards though. Only time I have been airsick. The rear facing seats were apparently so that 8f it crashed it was safer for the passengers…🤷‍♂️.
