This particular whale is the rather odd looking aircraft used to transport Airbus wing assemblies between British Aerospace's works near Chester and the assembly facility near Toulouse, France. The Beluga has its flaps and landing gear down ready for landing. The aircraft is a massively changed Airbus A300. For considerably more detail, visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_Beluga
