One passing thought - what will happen to the blue disc on the outside of Cranebank main building - future users will wonder why it's there. (installed to indicate the height of the 747 'fin' top)
There's two discs on that wall! I remember being told the lower one was the flt deck height when on the ground. The upper one (very faded) was the height above the concrete after main wheel touch down.
