METAR says the temperature at LHR was 25C at the time the alarm was raised. Given that heat rises, anyone want to hazard a guess at how warm it becomes just under the crown of a non-insulated fuselage skin which has been baking for the entire day?
25 degrees C is baking? The 787 underwent flight testing in Phoenix and Yuma, where it would of been 45+ every day.
