Well..this 757 is indeed flying in support of Iron Maiden's tour, chartered from Astraeus Airlines where Bruce Dickinson is a Flight Officer! Pilots who know Bruce claim that he is highly professional and a good pilot despite his rock and roll persona!
I found the pics on Iron Maiden's website (kind of tells you a little about me, doesn't it?!) and found additional pics here:

This aircraft is in storage at Lasham, where these pics were taken, with GFJEB which has its engines removed. I didnt notice if "Eddie the 'Ead" had his engines removed though. The remains of the BA A320 that was scrapped here are being used by the local farmer as a shelter.

I haven't seen that series yet, but I would like to. Guess I better pay attention to the Discovery Channel to see when it will be on again.

Plane spotters..you can track the progress of Ed Force One on both the Iron Maiden Website and on Airliners.com.
