Crew on the James Bond film Casino Royale have refused to get on a stunt jumbo jet - because it's haunted.

The workers fear the 747 is protected by the spirit of a passenger who died from a heart attack on board.

Crew say the lights and warning systems have come on during filming - even though the jet has no power.

Crew also claim to have seen the woman's ghost gliding up and down the aisles of the 30-year-old plane.

According to The Sun one worker said: "We were asked to stay on it overnight for one scene, but several of the crew refused."

"Some won't get on board at all because of the ghost. It's been a real problem."

The de-commissioned £2million former South African Airways jumbo is due to appear in several scenes.

The plane is kept at Dunsfold Aerodrome at Cranleigh, Surrey.

Spokesman David McAllister said: "I cannot discuss the film but I am aware of the plane being haunted. Everyone knows the story."
