Airship

The last pictures seems to display a prototype of the Airship Industries AD500.
Airship Industries first flew their 600 model in 1984, this being ready to appear in A View to a Kill. The 600 was a derivative of the smaller 500, itself drawn from the AD500 "which was first flew from Cardington on 3 February 1979" after (...) "the roll-out was delayed, mainly by certification problems" (source : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airship_Industries#The_AD500). The registration in Britain and the overall lines seems to corroborate this. LVCDC 30 october 2012
