Bit of a dredge, sorry.
I spent about 8 months working (as part of a team) to adapt one of the hangars at Heathrow to be able to service those beasts. If you drive round the perimeter road you can see the one, it has a large cut-out in the front of the building above the middle of the doors so that it would be able to accommodate the additional height of the tail. It was a bit weird as a lot of the work was done on scaffold suspended from the hangar roof - it took me a long time to trust the scaffold. Seems like yesterday (he says in soft, lilting tones with a gentle Yorkshire accent and struggling to not complain about how much cheaper everything was then) and is a real shame that it's days of being useful are now numbered.
