UK - London - British Airways 747 and engineering gantries

A Boeing 747 is surrounded by gantries during late night work by engineering staff who perform maintenance checks in the British Airways engineering hangar on the far side of London's Heathrow airport. As a landscape of confusing lines and linear design, we see the paintwork of the jet aircraft echoed in those of the platform struts and the steps that help the maintenance crews gain height and access to the high places required for the work to be carried out. At its tallest point, the 747's tail is 63 feet (19m).
