"With traffic cones arranged to avoid accidents in the darkness, the spinning turbofan blades of a British Airways Boeing jet aircraft are highlighted by the headlights of an airfield vehicle during the airliner's overnight turnaround at Heathrow Airport.

From writer Alain de Botton's book project ""A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary"" (2009).  Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary"" (2009). ."
