Boeing777 Crossing Road[edit]

Boeing 777 crossing a road to access maintenance facilities at London (Heathrow) Airport

This image appears in London Heathrow Airport, where it serves to illustrate some of the unique security concerns at LHR. It is also a very striking picture taken alone, and is of quite good quality. It is flagged as created and released into PD by User:Arpingstone. Its description page reads "An unusual road at London Heathrow Airport, England. A British Airways Boeing 777-200 is being towed across a public road on its way to the maintenance hangars. Photographed by Adrian Pingstone in April 2005 and released to the public domain."

  • Nominate and support. This picture is quite striking and illustrates a very unusual security concern at LHR. - Lanoitarus 17:01, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support It's different and interesting.--Dakota t e 01:51, 15 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Can I support my own pic? if not, disregard this vote! - Adrian Pingstone 22:38, 15 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Perhaps it's a devious conspiracy between you and Lanoitarus to get an extra vote ;) Enochlau 15:42, 16 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • I didn't think anyone would find us out! What's your vote? - Adrian Pingstone 16:11, 16 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support An interesting intersection (ha!) of two popular modes of transport. I wonder if this can be at all symbolic of any David-Goliath dichotomy? :) E Pluribus Anthony 21:08, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. I just don't think it's horribly striking; it's rather ordinary. Although the situation may be unusual, I had to read the description to find out that it was unusual... maybe I'm just stupid. Enochlau 02:28, 19 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • ( − ) Oppose First impression: "Some cars on the road. I don't see anything striking or interesting in this." Second, after reading a caption: "Oh, so it is a plane, not a building". If the plane was more distinct, I'd support, but as it stands, it's just not striking enough. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 02:01, 23 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Its not immediatly striking. Only after Zooming in and looking at do I realise what is going on.--Ewok Slayer 07:35, 26 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • ( − ) Oppose Agree with Ewok Slayer. --Fir0002 08:08, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Looks too ordinary, even though the situation perhaps isn't. --Janke | Talk 13:41, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
