Turned up at Cardiff one fine day and as we taxied in to the terminal, a 747 (IIRC Wardair) was parked at a curious angle: Turning off or maybe on, to the stand ( on the runway side of the terminal down at the southern end) the wingtip had "entered" the terminal building. removing several panes of glass. The tough old bird was gone fairly soon after having I believe, made more work for the glaziers than the LAEs.

747 Wing-tip 1, Terminal 0.
