Wheelbase: Wingspan

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Gordon Wilkins covers the world of aviation.

The Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet was due to make its first passenger flight to London from New York yesterday.
What impact will this 350 seater have on airports and air travel? Does its size increase the risk of mid-air collisions? Why do pilots want more pay to fly it? Will the Jumbo make holiday inclusive tours to the sun and snow cheaper?
On the inaugural flight of the Boeing 747 the Wheelbase team takes to the air to examine the plane's effect on flying round the world.
