This is the British Midland maintenance hangar located on the eastern
side of the airfield adjacent to the eastern perimeter road (visible in
the foreground, closed to the public in 2007), between the thresholds of 27R and 27L.

One of the British Airways hangars on the eastern side. It's basically
on the opposite side of the road to the Midland hangar pictured above.
The red and white fence in the foreground is a movable barrier to close the road
whilst aircraft are tugged over. This road was closed to the public during 2007.
