The Boeing 767 was spotted at at MoD Boscombe Down on the outskirts of Amesbury, Wiltshire.
Ministers are vowing the flight will go ahead - even if there is just one passenger.

The company has a permit to fly from Stansted to the Rwandan capital, Kigali, at 9.30pm tonight, according to Civil Aviation Authority records.

The site is managed by QinetiQ, the private defence company created as part of the breakup of the Defence Evaluation and Research Agency (DERA) in 2001 by the UK Ministry of Defence.
