Engineering Giants: Jumbo Jet Strip-Down

BBC Two, 8pm Sunday 15 July

This looks fantastic. A BA jumbo getting a complete strip down to its bare aluminium skeleton and put back together as part of a complete overhaul. y)

Thanks for posting - saw this mentioned on a.net as well. Set to record

Just read about this in The Times, looks super, shame I'll be in NY but there's always a box to record things!

Thanks for this, sky+ set now. Would have missed it had I not seen this thread.

Enjoyed it - the BA engineers came across as a great credit to the airline.
