In 1993 I was one of the two pilots who took a BA B747-400 down to the new maintenance facility at Cardiff. Everybody there was very proud of the place and we were given a guided tour. We were also shown some pictures of the fire suppression system test during commissioning of the building. This is also a foam system. What was quite amazing was that the hangar in the photograph we were shown had foam that was probably 30' or 40' deep! That would be effective.
Something like this? Remember a foam mishap in a USAF hangar around 2012 as well.
