Look under the left wing, right in between the engine and the undercarriage (wheels), and you'll see a little thingy sticking down. That's not a radio antenna; its the drain mast. Here's another one:

That one is a bit harder to see, but it's there, just under the shadow of the engine. You can also see the aft drainmast on that photo (off to the right of the centreline, underneath the number 8 door [right rear door]), as well as two radio antennas (one close to the nose, more or less under the number 1 door, and the other about two thirds the way back on the fuselage. Both are on the center line of the fuselage, while the drains are not.)

And one more:

It's real clear on that one, just in front of the left wing root. A pretty good close up.

And then there is also this one, which I thought was real interesting:

That shows what a fuel dump looks like! That stuff spraying out the tube between the inboard and outboard ailerons is jet fuel. Also, notice how it does not spray out smoothly, but rather gets "blobby" and atomised, just like the waste water photo? that is due to the complex aerodynamics around the airframe.

Thanks for trying to post those Stuart...the fuel dump is a great pic...I tried to repost your photos above but seems they have some sort of digital water mark...
