This aircraft started life with British Airways flying from Gatwick to Islamabad via Manchester twice weekly.
Then was sold on to European Aviation (EAL), finishing service with Air Atlanta Iceland (who merged with the now defunct XL Airlines).
Once taken out of service it was sold to a company called Aces High, who now hire it to various film companies. It has been seen most famously in Casino Royale and was modified for the film.
Most recent appearance was in come fly with me (interiors only)
Enough with the History on with the pics.........

Maybe post all the pictures at once, then it would be a bit more of a report mate.
But still it looks interesting, will be good to see some internal shots soon.
