A British Airways plane has been damaged after tipping onto its nose at Heathrow.
The incident happened while the aircraft was parked on tarmac at the west London airport.
Images posted on social media show the aircraft, believed to be a Boeing 787, surrounded by more than a dozen emergency services vehicles, including police, fire brigade vehicles and ambulances.
The last route the plane flew was from Moscow to London landing just before 10.30pm on Wednesday night, according to flight tracking data.
It is thought that the aircraft was preparing for a cargo flight to Frankfurt when the incident happened.
An airline spokesman said: “A freighter aircraft has been damaged while stationary on stand.
“As a freighter-only aircraft there were no passengers on board.
“Safety is always our highest priority and we are investigating the matter.”
The incident is not said to be affecting other flights at Heathrow.
The eight-year-old aircraft is fitted with 154 economy, 25 premium economy and 35 business class seats but has recently been used for carrying cargo instead of passengers.
