Oops!! Watch that wing!
Two aircraft collided while taxiing on the ground at Heathrow Airport in West London last night, with the BBC reporting that one aircraft was a British Airways Boeing 747 departing for Singapore and the other was a Sri Lankan Airlines Airbus A340.
The London Fire Brigade has confirmed that no-one has been injured in the incident which happened at 2213 BST.
