If you are meaning the green airframe about a thousand feet south-east of the Concorde, then that's a fire training airframe. Basically a mock up of a generic aircraft, to train firefighters in dealing with an aircraft fire.

These fire trainers are common at many different airports and military bases. Like the one in the picture it is commonly a large steel tube with fake wings and a tail. This one seems fairly new because it has color to it, most I have seen have been roasted to a cinder because of repeated practice drills.
